First time poster, LONG time lurker.
This event will be a ton of fun! As a four time marathoner, a racer from last year (I think I finished 10th in the 10K), and a KI FANATIC, I've been working feverishly with the Race Director to make sure this event goes off without a hitch. The 5K this year has 6 times more in park running than last year. Similar to last year, 10K runners will have to battle The Beast hill (the guy next to me almost cried when he saw it).
You'll also have the benefit of enjoying the park that day and then having a ticket to come back another day (a two for one deal). Even if you are a season pass holder, you'll receive a ticket for a friend! And don’t forget the awesome technical KI running shirt. So if you’re an elite racer, noncompetitive runner, or even a walker, what are you waiting for! Sign up today!
Even if you’re not running, feel free to join in the festivities and cheer on the runners. Season pass holders will be allowed in for free!
