This annual event offers both a 5K run/walk and a competitive walking 5K, with strict rules for walkers to maintain a walking pace only.

The race features chip timing with MYLAPS BibTag and awards for top finishers overall, masters, age groups, and walkers. No dogs are allowed, and day-of-race registration is available. The event honors Frank D.
