Early registration costs $25. Regular registration, after Wednesday, March 12, costs $30. Children older than 14 can participate in the run for $15. Children ages 14 and younger can participate for free in the Mayor’s Mile, a separate race that will begin after the 5K run. Each participant gets a ribbon and a T-shirt.
First-, second- and third-place runners in each age category will receive awards at a ceremony following the race. The first-place overall winners in the men’s and women’s categories will receive $100 gift certificates for a pair of New Balance running shoes at Tryathletics.
