Additional Information
Packet pick-up is at the registration tent on the WAU Commons.
Race times will be posted via a link on our runsignup page. Runners/walkers who arrive more than 20 minutes after the race starts are welcome to participate but will not be officially timed. Our race is timed by shoe chips that need to be returned after the race. Participants will be responsible for covering the $3 fee to the timing company if their shoe chip is not returned.
Only service dogs are allowed at the event.
We request that kids under age 11 stay with one parent/guardian at all times.
You can help us spread the word by printing our 5k flyer and posting it at your job and other venues! Use #ChristalisHeroes to share on social media.
