Awards for the 5K will be given for top M/F Overall, top M/F Master Overall, top M/F Grandmaster Overall, and top 3 in each age group (9 & under, 10-14, 15-19, ... 75-79, 80+). 1-mile Fun Run walkers and runners will be recognized for their participation as they cross the finish line. Snacks and water are provided post-race and at the awards ceremony.
- The registration fee for either race, ages 15 and up, is $25 on or before 9/27/2021 and $30 after 9/27/2021. The fee for participants 14 & under is $15, either race, any time.
