The Experience

I hope you're ready for the ultimate HOLIDAY SHOWDOWN! Join us for either our 5K, 10K, opr Half-Marathon distance and receive one of our CUSTOM HOLIDAY FINISHER MEDALS! Place top three in you age group and win an ADDITIONAL MEDAL! Sign your kiddos up for our BRAND NEW KID'S DASH! This is a short 100-200 meter sprint prior to the start of the race to give our little ones the opportunity to experience the racing environment without the pressure of a seemingly long, endless course. Dashers receive participation shirts, and will have the option to add finisher medal to their registration. Registration Includes:      - Event-themed participation t-shirt (T-SHIRT CUTOFF IS 11/23)      - Finisher Medal (5K | 10K | HALF ONLY)      - Eligibility for Age Group Awards (5K | 10K | HALF ONLY) Age groups will be awarded 3 deep in the following divisions: M/F 0-9, M/F 10-14, M/F 15-19, M/F 20-29, M/F 30-39, M/F 40-49, M/F 50-59, M/F 60-69, M/F 70+.
