Looking for an epic way to kick off 2025? Join a single 5K race or see how many 5K loops you can complete in the 12-hour challenge!
Start times
There will be four 5K start times spread throughout the day, giving the community more opportunities to join in case one time doesn’t work for you. This flexibility not only makes it easier to participate but also ensures the 12-hour challengers have company and support throughout their journey.

5k Start times: 9am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm
