Timed 10K Run

The Chip-Timed 10K route meanders through the nearby Beckett Ridge neighborhood and is a challenging course great for those runners looking for a training race in preparation for longer events. The 10K race begins alongside the 5K at 9:00 AM. Prizes will be awarded for male and female winners. Due to area road closures, all participants must complete the 10K race in under 90 minutes. At this point, the roads will be opened and runners will be asked to move to the sidewalk or berm to complete the race and will not be guaranteed a chip time.
