Michelob Ultra and the Coca-Cola Bottling Company are proud to present the 5th annual Flint River Entertainment Complex 5K Race Series hosted at the Veterans Park Amphitheatre in Downtown Albany.
The Race Series will have two registration options. Runners who only want to participate in a single 5K Event should choose their race of choice, and pay a $30 registration fee. Single race registration fees will include entry to the race and a race day t-shirt. Runners who would like to participate in the complete race series (all three races) should choose the FREC 5K Race Series – All 3 Races option, and pay a $75 registration fee. Series race registration fees will include entry to all three 5K race events, a t-shirt for each race, and a commemorative series medal (must complete all three races to receive a medal).
There will also be a 1- Mile Fun Run open to all ages, available for $10 (does not include a race series shirt).
*Each race will start and finish at the Veterans Park Amphitheatre. Each event will have its own unique course.

Runners will be able to pick up race packets on race day during registration time, prior to the start of each race.
Grand Prizes will be presented at the end of the final 5K event for the overall best time in all three races - 1st place, 2nd place, and 3rd place. Runners must participate in all three races to be considered for Grand Prize and to receive a race series medal.
