This is a new event which will be run on the Al Buehler Trail at the Washington Duke Inn and Golf Course.

Registration opens at 7 am; the race starts at 8 am.

Entrants in the 5K have a choice of entering as a competitive or recreational runner. Competitive entrants will receive an official time and be eligible for awards. Recreational entrants will not receive official times, but can either time themselves or see their times on the digital clock at the finish line.

The entry fee for the timed 5K is $30 ($35 on race day).  For the non-timed entrant, the fee is $20 ($25 on race day).  For children ages 5-12 the fees are $10, and $15, respectively.

Profits from the race will be used to raise community awareness and funds for colorectal cancer research at the Duke Cancer Institute.

The male and female winners will each receive a basketball signed by Coack K.  The second-place and third-place men and women will also receive awards.
