Tips & Advice
- Arrive at least an hour before the race start time if you plan to register on race day or switch between the 5k and 10k to ensure you get your preferred finisher gift.
- Keep an eye out for hidden clowns on the 5k and 10k courses; bringing one back to the finish line can earn you prizes, gift cards, or even cash.
- Consider dressing up as a clown to fully embrace the 2025 theme, as there are specific costume contest categories for 'Best Clowns' and 'Most Original'.
- Strollers and dogs are welcome on the 5k and 10k courses, but be sure to start at the back of the pack to allow faster runners and children to move freely.
- The collector's bib and finisher medal are unique to the 'Scary Clowns & Circus' theme and can be used for a free yoga session with sponsor Yoga Six.
