The registration for the 1 Mile Fun Run is just $10! The 5K entry fee is $15 through August 31st and will increase to $20 on September 1st.I registered late; will I still get a shirt?
In order to receive a shirt at packet pickup, you must register before the deadline listed on the race form. If you register after that and we have run out of sizes, you will receive your shirt after the race - up to 4-6 weeks later. We try to order enough shirts for everyone to have at packet pickup, but it is difficult to predict demand for sizes.Can I sign up for the race to get a shirt and not participate in the race?
Absolutely! Even though we would love to have you attend the festivities, there are many people who register just to get the shirt and don’t have intentions on running in the race. You must fill out a race entry form to get a shirt. If you don’t plan to attend, we suggest signing up for the 1 mile fun run, which costs $10.
