Septemberfest 5k

Join us for the 35th Annual Septemberfest 5k Walk/Run. The race has been ran every year since 1990 in coordination with the annual Lawrence County Septemberfest, which takes place the first weekend after Labor Day every year.

Proceed's from this year's event will go towards supporting the Mountain Movers Theatre Company!

Day of Registration runs from 7:15-7:50AM. Day of registration is $5 for students and $10 for others. Children under 5 are still FREE on registration day.

The 5k and the Secret 10k races start at 8:00am. 

This race is a perfect tune-up for those getting ready for a Half-Marathon or Marathon later this fall!

The 5K will have a pace limit of 33 min/mile (Time limit: 1 hour 40 minute). Race support cannot be guaranteed for runners/walkers going slower than this pace.

The Secret 10K will have a pace limit of 16 min/mile (Time limit: 1 hour 40 minutes). Race support cannot be guaranteed for runners/walkers going slower than this pace.

Shirts will be available to registrants until they run out. This race is not chip timed.

The 5k and 10k races are run on a live race course, meaning cars and traffic may be present. Signs and limited traffic control will be present to assist runners and handle traffic. This race starts next to the Lawrence County Board Office adjacent to the Lawrence County High School Football Field. The 5k race follows a route through the neighboring subdivision, Meadowbrooke.

The 10k race route is secret. You must know the route and we will not help you navigate it. It's best to know someone who has ran it before, if you can get them to tell you where it goes.

This race will be held rain or shine. No refunds will be given. In case of lightning, race will be delayed or postponed.
