RACE BENEFICIARY

As a non-profit, Presbyterian-affiliated organization, Glenaire has never asked a resident to leave our community simply because they have outlived their resources. In its 30 years, Glenaire has provided over $5 million in financial assistance. In, 2024, we expect to provide over $600,000.00 in scholarship funds. 100% of race proceeds will support this cause.

ENTRY FEES

All 5K participants will have the option to be timed, but recreational runners and walkers are welcome. Although all finishers will be able to see their time at the finish, only competitive entrants will be eligible for awards. The 5K entry fee $30 increases to $35 on race day. The 1 Mile Fun Run fee is $20 with no race day increase. Registered children under the age of 12 are free, but this does not include a t-shirt. T- shirts are available for purchase during the registration process for $10. T-shirts are guaranteed to all those who register by March 12th . After that date, they will be “as available”.

PACKET PICK UP AND SAME DAY REGISTRATION

Early packet pick up will be at Glenaire, 8000 Glenview Garden Place in Cary on April 4th from 4:30-7:00pm. Same day packet pick up and registration will open at 7:30am at the start/finish line.

COURSE

This is a fast and rolling course through the neighborhoods near downtown Cary. It takes a short tour on the Higgins Greenway. It starts and finishes on the Glenaire parking deck.
