Information About the Event

This 5K is open to everyone - serious runners looking to train, fun-runners, and walkers.

There's a free kids' dash before the run!

We're calling the 5K walk the "troll stroll" in honor of Foxie's love of troll dolls, so feel free to get troll-crazy with your race outfit.

Everyone who registers for the run or the walk by Thursday, May 10th will receive a t-shirt.

Pre-registration is now $30

Event day registration, available from 7:00am to 8:30am, is $35. T-shirts not guaranteed for those who register after May 12th and available on a first come, first served basis while supplies last for those who have not pre-registered.

 

The Course and Directions to the Event

The race will have you moving along a virtually flat, wooded trail next to the Yakima river and hitting a little pavement as well. (see course map below)
