Thank you all for your support of our past events and charity causes. We are preparing for another record breaking crowd for 2023! Presented by MONECO Advisors - all proceeds will be donated to the Fairfield Police Union Scholarship Fund & The Fairfield Police Foundation. You can run (3.1 miles) or walk (1 mile) course.   Get ready for the best night of the summer! 
This year we will be raising the bar once again and will accept over 1000 runners & walkers.
We invite all abilities to run our 3.1 mile scenic & flat course or walk our separate 1 mile course, that we have designed for you.  Starting and ending at Penfield Beach, this summer spectacular will include t-shirts, food truck rodeo, treats for the kiddos, fluids and adult libations for those of age.     THERE WILL NOT BE ANY RACE DAY REGISTRATIONS IF WE SELL OUT (and we do expect to sell out!)

The 5k Run (or you can walk) will be computer CHIP timed. 

5k Awards are based on ‘net time’ which starts when YOU cross the start, not at the horn. If you plan to try to win an award you need to be as close to the start line as possible. 
MARATHON SPORTS/SOUND RUNNER 5K AWARDS First place trophies and $25 MARATHON SPORTS/SoundRunner Gift Cards to the 5K overall male & female champions. MS/SR gift card awards ($15/$10/$5) to top 3 in age groups 9 & under, 10-13, 14-18, 19-29, 30-39, & 10-year groups to 80+

Reminder- there are NO awards for the one-mile walk- it is non-competitive.

 

REMEMBER- paid participants in the 5k event and one-mile events are welcome to enjoy our post-event food and fluids - it’s included in your registration fee.

We ask any family or friends not to take items that are for our paid participants. They can buy a $15 food ticket and join us. Thank you.

 

COSTS- With fixed costs and prepayment of many items, we CAN NOT under any conditions REFUND any registration fees. Our commitment to our charity partners will be maintained. We hope you can support this commitment and join us.   IF YOU CANNOT ENJOY OUR EVENT YOU CAN PICK UP YOUR SHIRT AND SWAG ON 7/17 & 7/18 at Marathon Sports/SoundRunner. Or you can ask a friend to pickup for you.    DONATION DETAIL -There is a 1000-person limit for this 5k event (BUT OUR DONATION BUTTON ALWAYS REMAINS OPEN). We encourage everyone to donate any additional amount to our charity partners. Your donation is fully tax-deductible. 

 

MODIFICATIONS FOR A SAFE START- We will be using a chip-timed, "open start" format which has been successfully used in various races around the state. We will start our full field of 1000 all at once.

 

YOUR ‘CHIP TIME’ STARTS WHEN YOU CROSS THE START LINE. If you are more comfortable starting a distance behind the “group” your 5K course time will start only when you cross the line. AWARDS ARE BASED ON NET/CHIP TIME.

 

PLEASE PREPARE FOR A SAFE START- If you are truly at a speedier running level (6-7min pace per mile or under), we urge you to be at the start early and ready to go at 6:30 pm. This will avoid crowding on the course and help everyone to run more safely. Thanks!

YES, WE ARE RUNNING AND WALKING IN ANY WEATHER unless it is lightning - then we will delay it until the police say OK. Please don't email on race day because we likely won’t see it.  We can't postpone to another date and we can't refund. But WE CAN HAVE FUN and enjoy the food trucks, adult hydration and 1000 friends who understand that weather reports are wrong more than half the time!
