Event Description

The Stuffing Strut 5K is a timed run/walk to support non-profits in North Hamilton County who assist families in need during the holidays. It takes place in Chester Frost Park on Dallas Island at the pavilion. This is a stroller and pet-friendly event.

Due to COVID-19, there will be extra safety measures in place this year to protect participants. Runners/walkers will line up accoding to anticipated finish time and maintain a 6 foot distance between one another until the race begins. There is also a mask mandate in place for Hamilton County so please plan to wear a mask up until you begin running/walking. Once you start racing, you can remove your mask and no longer have to maintain the 6 foot distance. 

NEW THIS YEAR: Complete the race virtually and submit your time. Participants can complete a 5k on their own throughout the week and submit their time to blalor@nnhouse.org to be recorded for the race. If you can, please use a fitness app such as RunKeeper or MapMyRun to record your time.
