Run or walk your way into a fabulous 4th of July week by registering for Run, Walk, Boom!
RWB is a family-friendly road race for all ages through the City starting and ending at the Huntington Woods Gillham Recreation Center.
If you don’t want to run or walk but would still like to be a part of this event – volunteers are needed! Contact sfinegood@hwmi.org for volunteer information!
T-shirt included if you register by June 9th.
Bibs/T-Shirts can be picked up Gillham Recreation Center:
Runners will only receive an official time for the race for which they registered! If you intend to run in both races, you must register separately for each race and then wear the correct bib in the appropriate race!
5k runners running in the Mile and vise-versa only complicated both the backup and results confirmation process. Please do not run in both races unless you are properly registered for each race separately AND have a different bib for each event. Failure to do so will complicate the backup and results confirmation process.
*Day of/walk up registrations will be accepted, please arrive with enough time to go through registration, and pick up your bib before the race begins. Pickup and Race Day Registration opens at 7:00am. Parking is available in front and along the south side of the recreation center, and on adjacent streets.
