Due to Governor Roy Cooper’s declaration and in general public health concerns over COVID-19, this year's G5K and 1 Mile Fun Run will be virtual September 19, 2020. Your health and safety is our top priority. 
Thank you for your support and understanding.

For current participants who cannot make September 19, 2020, we are happy to refund your entry fee.

This event had over 370 entrants in 2019.  Omar Wiggan led all finishers with a 17:13 clocking, while Bona Bame led the women with a 20:13 performance.  Wiggan holds the course record of 16:58 set in 2017. Kylie Feldman holds the women’s mark of 18:44, also set in 2017. The event, hosted by the Glenaire Continuing Care Retirement Community, typically starts and finishes at their facility located at 5000 Glenhope Court in Cary.  Since this year's race is virtual you have an opportunity to run this course or any other 5K course from September 17th to September 24th.  Once you have completed your course you can upload your time into Racereach.  Please note that the residents and staff will be on the course Saturday, September 19th from 9 am - 10:30 am.  We ask that you refrain from running the course during that time only.  You are welcome to stand along the course and cheer them on, but we are still under a no visitor on campus restriction.
