Can't make it, or would rather sleep in? You can still participate as a Dream Partner / Virtual Participant! Dream Partners will receive a shirt, and can snooze while our runners and walkers cruise! Join us as a Virtual Participant and run or walk from any location you choose! You can run, jog or walk on the road, a trail, treadmill, track, your neighborhood - anywhere! With your registration, you'll receive a t-shirt and a link to record your steps.

 

Kids Dash for children up to 6th grade begins on the track at the conclusion of the 5K Run/Walk (typically between 8:45 and 9 a.m.). Children will run in groups with like-age kids. The oldest children will run approximately 200 meters (half lap). The youngest children will run approximately 50 meters. All participants will receive a participation ribbon. 5K registration is not included with a Kids Dash registration. Please sign up for the 5K and the Kids Dash if you'd like to participate in both events.
