10K (7:00am) Anniversary Run

Join us for this timed race that honors our history and looks ahead to an exciting future. Lace up our shoes and be part of this milestone moment - let's make this anniversary run the best one yet!

5K (7:30am): This is a five-kilometer, untimed event.  Along the route, participants are doused with orange colored powder.  Participants wear their white event t-shirt at the start of the race and finish the race plastered in color. We recommend wearing sunglasses and a bandana over your mouth and nose in our orange zones. This race is for everyone - first timers to seasoned athletes, with no winners or offical time.  Please note it may get a bit messy after the race, so bring extra towels or wipes.

1-Mile (8:00am): This isn't about speed or competition, it's pure fun! This untimed, family-friendly walk/run is open to everyone and includes color stations.
