Event Description
Faith Baptist Church at Santa Rosa Beach will be hosting its inaugural Easter 5K Run and Kid's Easter Egg Hunt at the beautiful Grayton Beach State Park on Saturday, 15 April 2017. The race will kick off at 8:00a with the Easter Egg Hunt starting at 9:30a. The starting point for both events will be adjacent the main pavilion located at the end of Main Park Road. It should be a fantastic morning and a great start to the Easter weekend! All runners who pre-register by Wednesday, 12 April are guaranteed a t-shirt. We've got yellow and gray - we'll do our best to get you the color of your choice. The t-shirts turned out great!
There will be an awards ceremony beginning at 9:00a: the overall male and female winner will each receive a $100 gift card GRAND PRIZE. Age-group awards for both males and females will also be given.
Timing for the Easter 5K will be provided by About-Time-Events LLC.
Lastly, there will be plenty of snacks/food for all runners at the finish line.
