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!!).
