The Courses

Kids K

Ages 4 to 12

A 1K fun run from the JCC west on Northaven Rd toward Valleydale and back to the finish line. T-shirt and medal for every registered kid.

5K Walk/Run

Tree-lined residential streets with minor elevation changes, finishing on the Northaven Trail back to the JCC.

10K Run

The 5K course twice.

Virtual Run

Anytime, anywhere. Track miles in Strava, Nike, Garmin Connect, Runkeeper, Map My Run, or any app.

Create a Team

Develop a team concept: matching shirts, costumes, hats, whatever makes your team stand out. Then show your spirit on race day for a shot at the Best Spirit/Costume award.

Volunteer

Just you, a group of friends, or the whole office: hand out water, cheer, dress up, make signs. You get a volunteer t-shirt, community service hours (14+ with an adult), and a fun morning.
