  • Distance: 1km - 5km depending on the race

  • Bib Pickup: 5:00-5:30

Registration

You may register for one or all of the events in the series. However, we encourage you to register for all of the races at once—this will simplify your registration process and make it easier for organizers to create start lists. You also may register day of, but registering beforehand will help the organizers.
