About the event
The 5km starts alongside the longer races but quickly turns into a simpler, community-friendly route that allows for a leisurely pace or a fast sprint, depending on the runner’s preference. The course runs through safe, suburban streets, making it ideal for young runners, families, and those new to running events. Cheerful encouragement from spectators and other participants adds to the vibrant race day vibe. After crossing the finish line, everyone is welcomed back to the primary school for a post-race celebration that includes refreshments, music, and various family-centered activities, ensuring a memorable day for all.
