This 5K is fully accessible and intended for all levels of physical ability. All participants will receive a hand-crafted, one of a kind medal, created by one of the client artists, and an exceptional “swag bag” filled with goodies by event sponsors. Complimentary event t-shirts will be available while supplies last. Each 5K participant bag also includes a voucher for one free admission to Arts and Drafts and a complimentary beverage at the event that same day.

The 5K starts at 8 a.m., with participant registration beginning at 7 a.m. Race Day sign up will be available at the registration tent on the Kettering Rec Center parking lot side of Indian Riffle Park, 2900 Glengarry Drive.

Following the event, all 5K participants are invited to relax at Arts & Drafts for food trucks, craft beers by Warped Wing Brewery, a featured festival drink, on-site tattooing for a cause, Kids Zone activities, artisan vendor merchandise for sale and more.
