The 5K run is professionally timed. The Walk and the Relax events are free, but donations are encouraged. All walk and run finishers receive a finisher medal.
Dress up in your best purple flair for a chance at a fun prize!

The racecourse
Here is the course map on MapMyRun.
The race course is a 1 mile, mostly paved loop with about 150 yards of fairly smooth wide trail surface - no ankle twisters!
The first half of the course goes gradually downhill.
The second half of the loop goes gradually uphill.
Overview for 12/24-hour races
Run as many laps/miles as you can in 12/24 hours.
One Lap is about 1 mile long.
There is no minimum required amount of time to be on the course, nor will you DNF (did not finish) if you do not run the entire 12 hours. One complete Lap of the course qualifies you for an official finish. You can run as long or as short as you want, depending on your personal goals.
Walking, stopping to rest, and even napping is allowed.
Overview for 12-hour overnight Relay
Not ready to go in circles for 12/24 hours yet? No problem! There is a 12-hour relay option available.
Each relay team must have at least two but no more than four team members. Each relay team gets a BIB attached to the BIB belt before the start. The BIB belt serves as the relay baton.
It's up to each team to decide the order, length of the distance, or time for each team member. There is no minimum distance or time requirement per team member, and there are no rules for the rotation within the relay team. The team can start with only two team members during the first 6 hours and let the other two members rotate during the last 6 hours of the race. If desired, teams are allowed to pass the BIB belt after every Lap or every hour or else.
The team captain registers the team, and members are added to the team for free. User coupon code 'relay' when registering your relay team or when joining the relay team

Personalized BIB Option
For $10 extra, race participants can put any personalized message on the bib - as long as it is PG rated in every language.
A personalized Message can be your first name, last name, pets name, the cause you want to promote, or anything else.
For longer messages, a smaller font size may be used to fit the message on the bib.
There is no separate scoring division for personalized bib message holders. All 12-hour participants get scored together, and all 24-hour participants get scored together as well.
The registration for personalized bibs ends about a month before the race.
