Gettin' Salty 5k Margarita Run, sponsored by Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort
About this race
Lace 'em up and join the party by rewarding yourself for completing the 5k with a nice, cold margarita! Not up for the run? No worries! You can still have all the same fun with no training whatsoever! The 0.0K will still get you the shirt (with a twist) and a complimentary margarita, BUT...you get to kick off the party while everyone else is running! Sign up and enjoy the full package with cool swag like a race shirt, finisher's medal, and of course, your very own margarita glass. Music and drinks are key to any hoppin' party and we'll have plenty of that!! Food trucks will also be on site with delicious snacks. This is a party you don't want to miss! Be there on Saturday, August 22rd!
