Introducing the 5Kevents “RACEiprocity” Community Fundraising Program
We invite all local non-profit, fitness groups or community groups to be among the beneficiaries of our 2022 events. Everyone is welcome, everyone can win, and everyone can build awareness for their cause. We wouldn’t have it any other way. And there is no fee to participate as a beneficiary. CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE
You can view results LIVE at www.5Kevents.org and click on the race results tab. Remember this is a chip start, so a person's finishing order via Gun Start will not be the same as Chip Start. The race clock will represent the official Race start time but not your actual finish time. If your final time, gender, bib# or other data is incorrect on the final results, please notify the race director using our online correction form. PLEASE, Do not interrupt the timing crew during the event.
You may submit corrections at: https://5kevents.org/result_correction.html. While results will be immediately posted online at www.5Kevents.org, results will not be official for 48 Hours. This will allow us to make corrections.
Race bibs / timing: We utilize a shoe tag system. You must wear your shoe tags and race bib in order to be timed. Those who do not wear them, or wear them improperly will be disqualified and asked to leave the course as we will not know if you are included in the race (this is for insurance purposes). Pull tabs will not be utilized to limit person to person contact. See image below for proper wearing. Tie one on the left shoe, one on the right. No tags, no time. Race bibs must be worn and visible at all times. Wear bibs front facing.

New to running? DOWNLOAD our ZERO to 5K program - Many newcomers to running become discouraged by the difficulty associated with the activity because they start too fast and push too hard. Their bodies rebel and they wind up miserable, wondering why anyone would possibly want to run in the first place. The Zero to 5K program has been specifically designed to instill a love of running and ends with participating in your first timed 5K.
We’re here to help you achieve your goal(s), be it your first 5K, improving your run, or simply offering a resource where you can run with a group that is designed to help each other stay motivated. You should ease into your 5K training plan gradually. In fact, the program we provide is less of a running regimen than a walking and jogging program. The idea is to transform you from a non-runner, getting you to begin running a 5K ( or 3.1 miles) and on a regular basis in just 4 weeks.
It’s easy to get impatient, and you may feel tempted to skip ahead in the program, but hold yourself back. Don’t try to do more, even if you feel you can. If, on the other hand, you find the program too strenuous, just stretch it out. Don’t feel pressured to continue faster than you’re able. Repeat weeks if needed and move ahead only when you feel you’re ready.

Terrible Organization
We came to see our 13 year old grand daughter run and she didn't disappoint. The initial results she finished 10th overall, 2nd overall for women and 1st for girls in her age bracket. While she was acknowledged for her 2nd place finish for women she was not mentioned, nor did she receive a medal for her 1st place finish in her age group. Pretty bad given this is all supposedly done electronically and it took well over an hour to compile the results. She also didn't receive a t-shirt as they ran out after the first 30 or so participants. I recall the race organizer mention a cash prize for the top 3 runners male and female. Maybe they handed that out after we left but certainly not when the racers were called initially for their medals (by the way they didn't have the medals to pass out and will be mailed). If you're going to organize an event do it right or don't do it. Maybe it's not important to adults to receive the appropriate recognition but it's a pretty big deal for a 13 year old. Fortunately our grand daughter is an exception and took it in stride. She knows how well she did and the people important to her recognized her accomplishment.
Up and down and fun
Not a PR course but great views and fun to run. Big hill in the middle and several 180 turns make it a bit challenging. Organization is great and bacon and brew makes it worth attending!

I loved the race and band and food after the race. However, the steep hill with loose gravel to run up halfway through the race was tough. I'd love it more if the course was changed.
