Whether you're chasing a PB, running your first 5K, or just soaking up the atmosphere,

HOW IT WORKS

CHOOSE YOUR PACE GROUP
RUN WITH YOUR CREW
CELEBRATE YOUR FINISH
When you register, pick the 5km time that best matches your goal. We’ll place you in a pace group so you’re running with people of a similar speed.
On the day, arrive in time to check in, warm up and meet your pacer. Then settle in, follow the pace, and enjoy the track atmosphere.
Cross the line, grab some food and drink, and hang around to cheer on other runners. It’s all about community, connection and a great night at the track.
