About the Event

From Our Plate to the Pavement, Run for the Shrimp You Love!

To celebrate our National Holiday - National Yucatan Shrimp Day - we invite you to join our inaugural 7K!

Why a 7K? Doc Ford's iconic Yucatan Shrimp recipe features seven key ingredients: Shrimp, Butter, Lime Juice, Garlic, Cilantro, Sambal, and Salt/Pepper.

To celebrate this delicious dish, we're taking those seven ingredients to the streets with a fun, flavorful 7K race!
