Organiser's Description
DID YOU KNOW??
On average, 11 teenagers die each day from distracted driving. The 100 Deadliest Days of Summer (as it's often referred to) begins Memorial Day weekend and continues until school starts in late August. Teen drivers make up 87% of all distracted drivers on the road.
We invite you to participate in our Don't Text and Drive Awareness run! Choose between our 5K, 1 Mile, or Kid's Dash!
If your littles are excited to join in the experience, but aren't quite ready to tackle a full 5K, we highly recommend on _KID'S DASH_! This is a short 100200-meter sprint prior to the start of the race to give our little ones the opportunity to experience the racing environment without the pressure of a seemingly long, endless course. Dashers run for FREE but can still purchase a t-shirt and a finisher medal as an add-on.
*NEW*
Run Different is adding a brand new _1 MILE OPTION_ to all of our events for 2026! This is perfect for those who are just dipping their toes into the racing experience as well as friends, families, and social group that just want to go for a nice stroll. Our milers will still receive finisher medals and participation shirts; however this will be an untimed event with no age group awards.

- Event-themed participation t-shirt _(5K | 1M)_ **T-SHIRT CUTOFF IS 08/31**
- Finisher Medal _(5K | 1M)_
- Eligibility for Age Group Awards _(5K ONLY)_
