  Fit & Able is excited to bring back the Sunset Scramble at Bond Park! It's not quite a lap race but you will get your split times for each lap of your distance! There's ONE COURSE but THREE RACES for you to choose from to challenge yourself for how far you can go before the course closes. BUT you only have 2 hours to complete the distance of your choice so challenge yourself but pick what you think you can accomplish!

  SPECTATOR INFORMATION

  Since this is an evening race we are using a simple 5K course for all races that we can safely manage as it gets dark. Greater distance races will run increasing laps of that course. BUT the longer distances will ALSO get the split times for each 5K lap!

  The course closes for all races at 7 PM. Runners will not be allowed to start a new lap after that point; any runners who can't complete their distance in the allowed time will be automatically transferred to the race distance they did complete. Runners who have started a lap before 6:30 PM will be allowed to finish their run and their full finish time and distance will be counted.

  All races will have a staggered start beginning at 5:00 PM (in order of distance) and the course closes for all races at 7:00 PM (In-person Race Day Schedule). Please consider your race pace when deciding which event to run. * For any participants who feel they may need some extra time, please contact us at info@fitandable.net.

  PLUS there will be special results for those races at each split too! So you may not win the race but you might win a lap or two!

  • 5K - 1 Lap - Finish Time

  • 10K - 2 Laps - 5K Split & Finish Time

  • 15K - 3 - Laps - 5K Split, 10K Split, & Finish Time

  PLUS PLUS you can race MULTIPLE distances and win MULTIPLE awards with ONE run and ONE finish time! How? If you sign up for multiple race distances, you will get a timing chip only for the longest distance but we will apply your lap split times as finish times to the shorter races. You will be eligible for the Overall, Age Group, and Lap Split awards for all registered events.

  • eg. Sign up for the 5K, 10K, & 15K:

  • 5K Lap Split (Lap 1) = 5K - Finish Time & 10K/15K - 5K Split;

  • 10K Lap Split (Lap 2) = 10K - Finish Time & 15K - 10K Split, etc.)

  • 15K Finish Time (Lap 3)

  AND you'll get a DISCOUNT when you sign up for multiple races too (* discount applies to the lowest cost event on multiple registrations per participant):

  Play It Forward: We will be accepting donations to support the Town of Cary Parks & Recreation Scholarship Program for Youth Sports and 100% of the Kids Dash fee will go to support this program too. It is in keeping with the Town of Cary’s philosophy to ensure that all citizens receive equal opportunity to participate in recreation. The Town provides the opportunity for Cary residents to apply for scholarships and/or reduction of fees for Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources’ programs. There are many needs in our community that have been met because of the support of this program.

  BUT have you ever wanted to run a marathon without having to actually run a marathon? With the Greenways Series 26.2 you can do just that when you sign up for both 13.1 races at the Cary Greenways Half-marathon and Cary Greenways Tour. Complete both races and we will combine your finish times to give you a 26.2 finish time with an extra set of awards!

  PLUS you can save 10% on each race when you sign up for both together using the Greenways 26.2 Bundle! * You can find the bundle under the main event cards above (click View All Events).

  OR, how about an ultra-marathon? Complete all five Fit & Able 13.1 races - a combined total of 65.5 miles! - and again we will combine your finish times for yet another extra set of awards!

  All races will have a staggered start beginning at 7:30 AM (in order of distance) and the course closes for all races at 11:00 AM (In-person Race Day Schedule). Please consider your race pace when deciding which event to run. * For any participants who feel they may need some extra time, please contact us at info@fitandable.net.

  Their Mission: We are a Corps of Military and First Responder Veterans performing "Hands On" community service with a mission deployment attitude!

  The US Veterans Corps was an idea that was based on the experiences that Ft. Bragg and Camp Lejeune Veterans had while volunteering for ABC’s Extreme Makeover Home Edition and Operation: Coming Home that built and donated a brand new Hero Home for a disabled combat veteran. When the keys were delivered and the event ended there was a strong urge from these Veterans to continue the mission and therefore created the US Veterans Corps.

  Other US Veterans Corps missions include:

  • Toys For Lil’ Troops - Toys For Lil’ Troops provides toys to the children of deployed or low income troops.

  • Rescue Ruck - Rescue Ruck provides food for US Military & First Responder Veteran families in need.

  • Rescue Response Team - The Rescue Response Team provides aid during natural disasters. We also respond to other emergency and contingency missions.

  • Tactical Caisson Unit/Funeral Honors - The US Veterans Corps Tactical Caisson Unit transports US Military & First Responder Veterans. No hearse for our Heroes.

  • Military Vehicles USA - Military Vehicles USA is a group of veteran volunteers who restore military vehicles and equipment for civilian service. Our objective is to educate and serve our community with these historic vehicles.

  All races will have a mass start at 9:00 AM for the 5K / 10K /15K and the course closes for all races at 10:30 AM (In-person Race Day Schedule). Please consider your race pace when deciding which event to run. * For any participants who feel they may need some extra time, please contact us at info@fitandable.net.
