Advance Signup & Packet Pick-Up

As we have in the past, we will be providing advance race packet pick-up (race number, T-shirt and goodie bag) as well as another opportunity to sign up for the race:

Thursday, July 10, 2008 - 5:00 - 7:30 pm at Rockland Family Shelter's new office: 9 Johnsons Lane (off Route 304) New City.

For our younger viewers

As in the past, the kids run will be free. These races are really catching on and are a lot of fun. The runs are just a few hundred yards, but they are a joy to watch and they happen within a short enough time of the 5K race that there isn’t a lot of hanging around involved.

Special Rates (Pre-registration only!)

We have a very popular flat student rate of $18 for participants who are 19 and under. And for the not-quite-so-young we have the same $18 rate for participants aged 60+.

The course and directions

As always the course will be Rockland’s most scenic 5K. Our USAT&F certified lakeside loop is flat, fast and fun to run. A course map and directions to the race can be found on our ‘map/directions’ page.
