RACE DAY REGISTRATION 8:00 a.m.
RACE START 9:00 a.m.
Online registration is open until 11:59 pm on April 11th but registering before April 1st will ensure you can pick up your race packet at the registration table on race day! Along with your bib and t-shirt, this year’s race packet has some extra goodies in it!
When you register for our 5K you are making a tangible difference in the lives of people throughout Uganda. All participants agree to raising or donating $100 or more. $100 can provide 8 people in Uganda with clean water! Give your friends, family and local community a cause to rally behind – we’ve got lots of resources to help you get off to a great start.
A great way to make a big impact is to start a team! Your team can be made up of friends, family, your sports team, church group, alumni from your college, co-workers or whoever else you want. The top fundraising team will get their name on our handcrafted trophy and keep it on display until the next 5K. Once you register, you’ll receive instructions to help you take the next steps!
