Event Description
How to qualify for the Beat Ben Brown 10k:
There is an open event (the last 5k and Kids 1 mile) and then there is the 10k Challenge. You need at least one partner who has scored 100 pts in the ERS Series to participate in the challenge. The idea came from wanting to beat Ben Brown but the only way to even come close over this distance would be to have a team of 6 running a mile each. In light of the lack of a Ben Brown near by we turned to another good friend and speedy runner John Duberly. This is basically 3 2 mile laps where teams of 3 will compete against John. Winner of the race will choose the charity we donate too.
Schedule:
- 5k starts at 9:00am
- $30 until 8/31 - includes 3 team members
- $40 until 10/31
- $60 until 12/27
The Last 5k:
This is a family friendly 5k which will start at 9:am. It is open to all and is a super simple out and back course along the race track. At the finish line we will have hot coffee, hot chocolate, fruit and nice place to hang out while the champions entertain us chasing John Duberly who will be shirtless and in short shorts! We will do a kids 1 mile run before the 5k and every child will earn their own reward.
- $15 until 8/31

The Course for both events will start and finish inside the park area on Hutchinson island. Park in the Pit and Paddox area in the race track (not the westin or trade center). Packet Pickup will be on race day only. Shirt included for the 5k and Finisher Medal included for everyone.
