About the Event

The St. Mary of Gostyn Annual 5K Race and 1 Mile Run is open to all ages. There is also a 5K non-competitive (no timing) Walk available. All events begin and end on the streets around the St. Mary of Gostyn Parish campus. Check-in and packet pick up begins on Friday, August 22nd, from 2:00-6:00 and again the morning of the race at 7:00 am in the St. Mary's parking lot at 445 Prairie Avenue.

We will award medals for several age groups for the 5K Race and the 1 Mile Race. There are no awards for the non-competitive 5K Walk. Adults are $35 for the 5K Race and 5K Walk. Students 14 and under are $20 for either the 5K or the 1 Mile Run, but can only choose one race in which to participate. All participants get a race shirt if registered by 8/15.
