5K
The 5K race will begin at 9:10AM. You will be assigned a corral based on how you expect to complete the course (i.e. run the entire time, jog most of it, or walking most of the time). We will be releasing corrals in waves every few minutes to help ease congestion on the course. Not sure if you will be running, jogging, or walking? No worries. You can always update this later. For now, please choose the 'Walking' corral. You can log-in to your RunSignUp account as the race nears to adjust your corral!

The 10K race will begin at 9:00AM. Please note that you must be lined up in the start line area prior to 9:00AM and will not be permitted to enter the course past 9:00AM. If you arrive late, you will have to participate in the 5K, which begins at 9:10AM.
