Our annual 5k race on Labor Day (Monday, September 7, 2026) begins and ends at Sandy Bottom Park (602 East College Street). This is home to the Town's miniature golf course and par-3 course. We welcome participants of all ages and fitness levels. T-shirts are guaranteed to those registered by Sunday, August 16, 2026. After that, t-shirts will be available while supplies last. Prizes for overall winners and age groups will be awarded. Pre-registration is $15 per entry for ages 17 & under and $25 for ages 18 & over until August 16. After that date, fees increase to $20 (ages 17 & under) and $30 (ages 18 & over) per entry. All participants can play mini-golf and par-3 golf for free that day! Just show your bib number, and you and your family can play miniature golf and/or par-3 golf.
