Organiser's Description
Join us for the inaugural Fins Up 5K Fun Run/Walk on August 6 at the Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C., to kick off the 2024 Wyndham Championship and celebrate the life and spirit of Margaritaville, where a laid-back, island-escapist ethos is the foundation for the PGA tournament's tropical oasis, Margaritaville at the Wyndham. Set for August 7-11, this year marks the 85th edition of North Carolina’s oldest professional golf event.
Fins Up 5K will have an approximate distance of 3.1 miles, with a route incorporating the ready-for-action Wyndham Championship course and surrounding neighborhood (final race route is subject to change). As participants make their way through the scenic course one day before the pros, you'll be taking a Margaritaville-themed challenge, Margarita Maker Marker, picking up ingredients at each mile marker to make a delicious margarita cocktail. (These items will be able to take away and cannot be consumed on the premises.)
Participants will receive great race swag, including an official tie dye T-Shirt (register before July 20 to guarantee shirt size), a ticket to the 2024 Wyndham Championship (round of choice), and entry to the post-run party at the Margaritaville at the Wyndham fan amenity, featuring live music by a Jimmy Buffett cover band and more. Participants will also receive one complimentary beverage ticket (21+ only) for the post-run party.
Prizes for the winners to include multi-day stays at Club Wyndham resorts and Wyndham Rewards loyalty program points.
A portion of proceeds from Fins Up will benefit our friends at Singing for Change, which funds organizations that inspire personal growth, community integration, and the enhanced awareness that collectively, people can bring about positive change.
