Organiser's description
CELEBRATING OUR LOCAL HERITAGE
As Excelsior Springs only 5K race, we are committed to providing a uniquely local event that reflects our communitys heritage. Weve moved the starting line to Broadway Avenue, in front of the historic Hall of Waters (which inspires the artwork of our 5K medals). Other Trails Coffee & Goods https://www.other-trails.com, located next to the Hall of Waters, is the corporate sponsor of the Tortoise & Hare. Thanks to their generous support in underwriting the costs of the event, every dollar raised through registration fees will go directly to benefit The Good Samaritan Center in our mission to alleviate hunger and homelessness in our community. Be sure to say thanks when you stop by their cozy coffee shop in downtown Excelsior Springs for a coffee drink, tea, or one of their yummy baked goods.
Packet pick-up and late registration will be held at Other Trails on Friday evening and Saturday morning before the race, on April 12 and 13.
Runners and walkers will gather on Broadway in front of the Hall of Waters. When the air horn blasts at 8 a.m., some will race along a scenic 5K course that includes chip timing and prizes for the winners. Some will stroll more casually and enjoy a two-mile walk. And the kids will take off on their own fun run to earn their own special prize.
Visit Other Trails Coffee & Goods https://www.other-trails.com
STUDENT RATE of only $15 (half-price) is available for those 18 and under (just enter the coupon code STUDENT).
HOT CHOCOLATE FUN RUN
After the 5K run and walk gets started, there will be a short fun run for the kids. Every participant in the Kids Hot Chocolate Fun Run will receive a coupon for a free hot chocolate drink at Other Trails. (Registration fee for the fun run is automatically set at $15, no need to enter the coupon code.)
REGISTRATION DEADLINE
Be sure to register before March 29, 2024, to guarantee a shirt (for all participants) and medal (for 5K participants). Late registrations after March 29 wont be guaranteed to receive either a shirt or medal.
HAVE MORE FUN WITH A TEAM of your best friends or co-workers! Create a team of five, and each participant will receive a $6 discount (only $24 -- like signing up 4 and getting the 5th member free). You might even want to get artistic and design some team t-shirts for your group. Team leaders have the option to create a team and register all of the members together, or to allow team members to register individually after the team has been created. (Note: The discount is applied retroactively when the final team member registers.)
