Dive into the sweet adventure of Cookie Run, where every step is infused with joy and delicious rewards. This race isn’t just about crossing the finish line; it’s an experience tailored to make running feel like a celebration. Choose from three distances: 5K for those looking to run or walk at their own pace, the challenging yet rewarding 10K, or the exhilarating half-marathon (13.1 miles). Each option offers unique opportunities to enjoy the scenic routes and friendly atmosphere that define this event. Unlike massive races where you’re just another number, Cookie Run keeps things intimate and personal. Waves of runners start at staggered times—7:30 AM, 8:00 AM, and 8:30 AM—to ensure everyone has a comfortable space to enjoy the run without feeling rushed or crowded. Once your wave starts, you’re free to move through the course as you please. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with coordinators cheering runners on every step of the way. Whether it’s live music at the start line or festive decorations along the route, this race aims to create a memorable experience for everyone involved. Registration includes more than just participation; it comes packed with perks designed to enhance your running journey: - A custom-designed T-shirt sent directly to your door (U.S. addresses only) - An exclusive finisher’s medal waiting at the end - Virtual training runs and detailed course maps emailed ahead of time For those who prefer flexibility, a virtual run option is available for runners across any distance, allowing you to complete it on your own schedule while still receiving all race benefits. The swag bag also includes an invitation to join one of our local running clubs, fostering community among participants long after the event concludes. Plus, there’s now an upgrade to a moisture-wicking technical shirt for just $5 more if you want that extra edge in comfort and style during your run. With no timing chips or pressure to beat personal bests, this race is about progress, not perfection. Track your time with any device of choice and submit it online afterward for official recognition. As part of the event’s commitment to accessibility, participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult guardian. All ages are welcome, ensuring that everyone can enjoy a safe and fun environment regardless of their pace or experience level. For those signing up close to race day, remember your shirt might arrive after you’ve run if you haven’t registered early enough for shipping deadlines. But don't worry—wear whatever makes you comfortable on the big day!

Join us at Cookie Run and experience a race like no other—one filled with sweet rewards, personal connections, and unforgettable moments.
