Registration
Race entry fees are $20, and $25 after March 15, and $30 on race day for the 10k race and the 5k run/walk. Register on-line. It's fast and easy and you will receive an instant confirmation of your entry. Or, if you prefer, print an entry form and mail or fax it to us (address and fax number on the entry form). ChampionChip owners may provide their personal ChampionChip number and deduct $2.00 from their entry fee. Everyone will need to pick up their race/run/walk entry packets near the race site at Freedom Plaza on the day before or on race day. That location will be announced soon.

5k Run/Walk
The 5K Run/Walk will take place at the same time as the 10K Race. We would like to strongly encourage the walkers to participate in a pledge walk - every dollar raised, helps! You must sign in at a table near the starting line if you are not preregistered. Click here for Pledge Form.
