Don your cheeriest running gear and jingle your way to the finish line for a chance to take home an award for best costume. \nAwards: \nStick around for the post-race award ceremony\, where eco-friendly race medals will be awarded to the top three male and female finishers per age group and for best costume. The top male and female finishers overall will also take home a free skiing weekend for two. \nAge Groups (5K Race): \n12 and under\, 13-19\, 20–29\, 30–39\, 40–49\, 50–59\, 60+ \nCost: \nThrough June 18th – $35\nJune 19th through July 17th – $40\n$45 on July 18th/Race day (Payments must be made onsite by card\, no cash) \nAdd-ons: \nShirts can be added on for $15\, and orders must be received by July 1st. \nDrink passes for ages 21+ will be available for $5 (card only) on-site\, the day of the race.
