Event Description
5K:
This is the Most Eggcellent of excellent 5Ks - an 80s themed 5k! Bring out your pastel, your shoulder pads, your blue eyeshadow, and that big hair! We cannot wait to see your spirit! We will start at McPhelemy Park, and then runners will travel west on Crossman Avenue (CR 350). They will take a right and journey through The Meadows Farm, taking in the sweet sounds of the babbling creek (as long as it's not frozen over)! Then runners will come out on West Main Street and head east back towards the finish line at McPhelemy Park. This run is stroller friendly! There may be a few bumpy sections on trail, but overall it's very smooth. We welcome all runners, walkers, joggers, and everything in between!
Easter Egg Hunt:
Our kids are going to have a stellar time at our Easter Egg Hunt! This event will be held on the lawn at McPhelemy Park. We will have different areas for different age groups so that everyone, from our little tykes to our big kids, will be able to find those eggs and have the Most Eggcellent fun! Bring your own bag, basket, or tote to collect the goods.
Online registration will STAY OPEN to race day!
For 2023, we will have Early Bird Registration and Late Registration.
While we love to provide our runners with amazing race swag, we also must keep our cost (and yours) down by ensuring that we are not wasteful with our orders.
At the two week mark, we will not be able to guarantee that you will receive race swag.
Register early and ensure you get the goods!
