Three 5K's + One Day = The Melt Down! This challenging event is in it's 11th year. Three consecutive 5K's at 8:00 a.m., 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. Do one, two or all three races! You can decide that day! Races must be done in order (so no fresh runners in race #2 or race #3). If participants are just doing one race it has to be the 8:00 a.m. race. Races must be finished in 1 hour to allow for the start of the next race. Course is on a beautiful wide, smooth, paved trail through two parks and crosses a historical bridge! Indoor restrooms and a fun, free splash pad and playground for the kiddos located right next to the start/finish. Everyone who finishes the first race races receives a custom MELT DOWN medal. Fun HOT, summer themed t-shirts! Awards for top three male/female and top 3 in age groups in the FIRST race only. Also award for the top male and female best COMBINED times of all three races.
