My children ran this 5K and had a blast! With two waves of runners that take off about 2 minutes apart setting apart the competitive runners from the fun run/walkers. The course is set up to weave through the Give Kids the World Village with water stations, bubbles, and more. Runners can warm up before the race in the square with a licensed Zumba instructor. Many vendors set up with breakfast snacks and other goodies, including face painting for children of all ages. All runners receive a gingerbread man medal and cookie after crossing the finish line. The medal is adorable. The volunteers and staff make this event so much fun with games, confetti, and great music. Bus transport is available and very convenient as runners are requested to park offsite.
