What we checked, and when
Read off the venue's own page on 2026-11-04.
The 5K is $45 a runner and starts at 8:30 AM; the Kids Run is $22 and starts at 8:00 AM, so the little ones run first and finish as the 5K sets off. Both prices go up after 11/16/2026. The total shown is two 5K entries and two Kids Run entries, and the Kids Run has no entry for under-3s.
Not confirmed: A military rate. We searched and the venue publishes none. That is not the same as there being none, so it is worth asking.
Fees rise after 11/16/2026
