You will still receive your swag bag of items including the 5K t-shirt, medal, and Dragons hat, and now four (4) tickets to a game this summer (we will email all participants about tickets redemption the week after the race date of July 18, 2026). Sign up during the Early Bird period and receive two (2) bonus stadium seats to an upcoming Dragons game!
