Runner questions

Before you sign up

Yes. It follows the Boulder Creek path, mostly flat with a couple of gentle rises. Good for first-timers and PR-chasers alike.
Not at all. Plenty of people walk it, run it with kids, or treat it as a warm-up before a very well-earned taco. It's a fun run first.
5K entry, a custom pair of festival running socks, and the smug satisfaction of earning your tacos. Everything else (tickets, wrestling, music) matches General Admission.

Ready to run, then eat?
