Each family team must consist of five runners. The runners can be part of any age group or gender. The only requirement is that you are part of that family.
The family race will be scored like a cross country race. Each team member will be awarded the number of points that correspond with the place they finish by gender. The family who finishes with the least number of points will be the 2015 winner and will receive a prize, as well as bragging rights for the next year.
The 5K provides a fun, positive experience for any age or ability. With over 200 participants in the 2014 event, you should be able to find someone to run or walk with that is at your pace.
