Entry fees are $25 for pre-registration up to May 31 or $30 the day of the race. Youth age 18 and under have a discounted registration fee of $15. Participants registered by May 27 will be guaranteed a t-shirt. Event t-shirts may be available after May 27 but supplies may be limited.

Awards will be presented to top overall male/female finishers, top three team winners and the first three male/female finishers in various age divisions ranging from youth to age 70 and the fastest team.
Chip timing will be offered by J3 Timing. Chips will be located on the tear-off tags of the bib you receive. This chip timing provides more accurate results and placing for a better race experience. J3Timing will also provide finish line photos on-line.
