Event Parking

For best parking, race participants are encouraged to park EITHER in the parking lot of First Reformed Church OR anywhere along streets that are East of Main. Because of the parade that will start after the 5K, we have been asked by the city to keep ALL traffic east of Main. This will help with the vehicle flow and congestion of during post race and pre-parade traffic. The city and race event organizers thank you for your understanding and cooperation with this in advance!

Awards structure will be as follows:

Award ceremony will begin following the race at Ignite Gym & Fitness.

Award medals will be given for all finishers as well as the top male and female finishers from age group division.

The overall male and female winners will be excluded from their age group awards and will receive their own medal along with a $50 gift card to the Grain House coffee shop in Hull.

This year we will also be having a raffle for all participants! More information to follow.

The overall winners will be determined by the gun time. This means that, athletes trying to grab the top spot awards of overall finishers should be prepared to start the race when the gun goes off, not by when they cross the timing mat. This will create an ideal photo finish and clear any confusion about who the first overall male and female athlete.
