The SHOOTOUT (triple) combines all races back-to-back-to-back with the 5k, 10k, and Half Marathon for a cumulative time. The faster you run, the more break you have between events.

Note that parents who are not registered for their own event, will need to purchase the event/park pass. The non-timed event will start right after the half-marathon (10:30 AM) as it follows the same first 1km mini-loop. Kids will gather at the timing event for the half marathon start to receive instructions. Once the half-marathon runners have cleared the start, we will have a separate start for the kids' event at ~10:31 AM.
