About the event

Runners can pick any single race (5K, 15K or 30K) or can run both the 5K and either the 15K or 30K which start after the 5K ceremony. Sign up for each individual race separately.
The 5K race is starting at 9am; the 15K and 30K both start at 10:30am and run concurrently. 30K runners receive a 15K and a 30K certified time (so if you sign up for the 30K, you virtually run the 15 and 30K .. for one money!!).
- 5K participants run 2.5K out and 2.5K back; this race starts at 9am;
- 15K and 30K runners start at 10:30am. The 15K participants run out 7.5K out-and back another 7.5; 30K participants run this out-and-back twice.
