From the Organizer
Get ready to turn up the heat at the Sole Sizzler 5K, where fast miles meet small-town fire. This isn’t just a race — it’s an experience.
You’ll start and finish inside the iconic Kettering Captains Quarters, charging out onto semi-smooth roads (some potholes included) that wind through lively neighboring subdivisions. Spectators bring the energy, the pace stays hot, and every step pulls you closer to the finish line.
When you cross that finish line?
You’re not done yet. Head straight to the track for a post-race celebration packed with friends, family, and fellow runners. High-fives, cheers, and pure runner euphoria included.
Whether you’re chasing a PR, racing your crew, or soaking up summer vibes, Sole Sizzler brings the heat from start to finish. Lace up, line up, and let Waterford’s hottest 5K show you what fast—and fun—really feels like. 🔥🏃♂️🏃♀️
