About this race

Step back in time and kick off the day at our Y2K 5K Run/Walk—the ultimate throwback to the early 2000s! Whether you're racing for a PR or cruising with friends, this fun, high-energy event is all about nostalgia, community, and getting moving before the festivities begin.

Break out your best Y2K gear—think velour tracksuits, trucker hats, frosted tips, and low-rise vibes—and hit the course with a playlist-worthy atmosphere. Walk it, jog it, or run it—this event is for all ages and fitness levels.

Cross the finish line and celebrate like it’s 2003—all participants receive a beer of their choice (or a non-alcoholic drink) to kick off the party.  Must be 21+ for alcohol.  

Stick around after you cross the finish line because the fun is just getting started! The race leads straight into Family Fest, packed with food, games, and activities for everyone.

Run. Walk. Throw it back. Then celebrate.

Packet pick up is directly before event from 9am-9:45am.  Race starts at 10:00am.
