Perfect for the first time runner! Youth runners may be accompanied by an adult, however, ALL PUBLIX WOODSTOCK 5K BIBS must be removed. We do not want older athletes running this race just for time, and the bibs will mess up the timing. Each runner will receive a finishing medal when they cross the finish line.
Awards will be given in the following areas: ALL AWARDS for KIDSTOCK will be given out in the COURTYARD near the stairs, after the race.
In previous years, more than 1000 runners have participated in the event, and many more people are on-site as spectators and volunteers. This is a great opportunity to showcase your business. Food vendors are welcome! Don’t worry that it is early in the morning. Runners eat anything any time of day! You also can set up on Friday, the day before the race, at noon (runners will be picking up their race bibs until 6pm that day).
If you are interested, please submit your applications by email or mail no later than July 24.
