The registration fee is $29 in advance/$35 day of event

*Due to the recent ability to chip time - we will be able to get results in real time. Unfortunatly, this also prevents people from registering the day before the race 9/26. We will still be accepting registrations the morning of the race - the good news is that anyone who signs up the day of the race will have the ability to be chip timed.

Ways to register, pick one:


  • Online at Runreg.com (online registration closes at midnight on 9/25)
  • Download the Entry and Waiver Form then email it to johanna@kvymca.org
  • On-site registration starts at 5:30am on September 27th (most expensive option)
