These extras are in addition to all of the great benefits included with standard 5K registration, including access to the post-race Party by the Sea featuring a beer garden with two complimentary pints for participants 21 & up and a live concert on the T-Mobile main stage!
Please plan to arrive to the start line of each of your races at least 5 minutes before the published start time as actual start times are subject to change on race day in coordination with the train schedule.
*Since there are only 45 minutes between the Men 39 and under and Women 39 and under races, All Day 20K participants will have the option of substituting their 4th race for the Party People race. All Day 20K finishers need to complete the first 3 races in the correct order and then have an option to choose between Race #4 and the Party People race.
