Organiser's Description
The last Saturday in July! Our favorite 5K of the year! The Trak Shak Retro Run 5K is ready for 2026 with an all new theme! We're hiring a local band named Redwood to play before and after the event. They play mostly Country and Southern rock, so we thought, "How about a Retro Country Music or Sothern Rock theme!" What is your retro Country or Southern Rock idea. We want to see it! The infamous costume contest should be entertaining! The contestants will be picked by spies at the finish line. You must run the entire 5K to compete. The winner will be picked by crowd reaction as we introduce each, and will receive $100 CASH!
Each participant will receive a bib, which is your food & beer ticket and a race shirt. You can purchase extra food and beer tickets for family and friends as you register OR if you don't plan to run, you can buy just a food and beer ticket. Oak Hill will be providing the food and we'll have ice cold taps out front for our 21 and overs!
