From the Organizer

TEAM COMPETITION - GET YOUR FRIENDS AND RUNNING BUDDIES TOGETHER AND RUN AS A TEAM - WIN GREAT PRIZES!  SEE THE TEAM COMPETITION PAGE LINK SHOWN ABOVE FOR MORE DETAILS!

Teams of 5 to 10 runners compete for prizes for each of the three Summer Sizzler races (Summer Solstice 5K, Downtown Dash 5K, and Beach to Beach 5K) as well as a Team Grand Prize for the team that wins the combined three-race series competition!  Here's how it works - you get a team of at least 5 but no more than 10 runners together, and enter each race in the Series (or use the Three-Race Bundle for a better price).  At each race, your team is scored just like in Cross Country - the top five runners on the team are scored, by adding up the OVERALL PLACE each runner finishes in the race.  Lowest score wins, and if there's a tie score, the tie is broken by the sixth runner's place.

Mike Melton has brought back one of the great old summertime 5Ks as he resurrects the iconic Downtown Dash 5K, but this time the race will actually be held in downtown - downtown Stuart, that is!  The race starts and finishes in Flagler Park, just past the Stuart Feedstore museum and in the shadow of the Roosevelt Bridge.  We're also going to beat the heat by starting Saturday morning at 6:00 AM - yes, that's right - 6:00 AM.  Proceeds from the race will benefit area cross country teams - so it's a great local cause!  Finisher's awards, age group awards every five years from 10 and Under to 80 and Over, and a handful of raffle prizes means that everyone will walk away with something!  Post-race refreshments, two on-course water stops, chip timing start to finish line, and quality cotton/poly blend t-shirts to the first 200 entrants are all included.  Come join us at the crack of dawn and run one of the fastest flattest 5K courses you'll ever find!  You know this will be a quality event because Mike Melton is organizing it!  TC Running Premium members receive a $5 discount!  Pre-race packet pickup at Fleet Feet Stuart running store from 2 PM until 6 PM on Friday July 25, race-day packet pickup starting at 5:00 AM.  Sign up today!
