In order to encourage more families to join us on Independence Day, we are adjusting our pricing! Individuals will be $20, whether you pre-register by July 2, register at packet pickup on July 3, or register on race day. For families of 3 or 4, there will be flat-fee of $50; each extra family member will be an additional $10 (i.e., $60 for 5, $70 for 6, etc). Note: the family discount can not be done online; you need to register at packet pickup at The Edgar May Health and Recreation Center on July 3 or at the event on July 4.
We at RunLikeArdy really want to encourage the whole family to join the fun, and we are committed to making that as affordable as possible.
