🎉 Two Fun Events Before the Race!
🎈 Blow-Up Costume Dash
*You do not need to sign up for this event. If you wish to participate, bring or wear your costume and you are IN!
Blow up that costume and sprint across the finish line! This short, track-based dash is fun and friendly for all abilities. Which blow-up costume will take the win?
Don’t worry—you’ll have plenty of time to change out of your costume before the 5K and 1-Mile events begin.
🏃 Kids Dash
Kids 10 and under can get in on the fun with a short, full-speed sprint before the big event!
*Kids do not need to sign up for this event. It is held entirely on the track and parents/guardians will be able to watch them the entire time.
The Kids Dash is a very short sprint and will take approximately 10 minutes for all children to participate.
