Bib pick-up for all pre-registered runners and race-day registration will be at Brewer Auditorium from 8:00 to 9:05 a.m. BIB PICK-UP AND REGISTRATION CLOSES AT 9:05 a.m.! Race day registration will be $25. Team registration pricing on race day is $75. Race-day registration is cash or check only.

AGAIN THIS YEAR! Our race participant item is being upgraded from cotton to a tech shirt. Because this comes with an additional cost and other increased costs we've decided to make it an add-on. This means, you can register for the race for the same low price (free for Sub5 members) but if you want the shirt it is an additional $12. Details are in the registration.
Course Records: Riley Masters 8:02 (2011), Ruth White 9:26 (2023)
