Registration & Benefits
Register early as prices increase closer to the race date. Each registered bib number includes a finisher’s medal, a RUN727 promotional t-shirt, a free draft craft beer from HOB Brewing post-race (for those 21+), and a timed, accurate distance run course. The course is fully paved and permitted by the county and city, with intersections policed by PCSO and trained adult volunteers.
Race Day Information
Check-in opens at 7:30 a.m. on race morning. Participants will receive an email by noon the day before the race with their assigned bib number and waiver. Please print and sign your waiver in advance to expedite check-in. There is no packet or t-shirt pick-up prior to race day. The event is family and dog friendly; however, runners with strollers or dogs are asked to start toward the back of the pack. Please keep to the right on the trail and limit noise-canceling devices for safety.
