For runners, we'll be awarding medals to the top 3 male and female finishers in the following age groups: 14 & Under, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70 & Over, plus crowning overall male and female champions (19 & Under and 20 & Over).

For the families of children facing life-threatening illnesses, the need is greater than ever. Inflation and the rising costs of medical care have left many families struggling to afford necessities like rent, food, and utilities. Your participation in the Dirty Socks 5K Run & Walkathon directly supports these families, helping to alleviate their financial burdens during incredibly challenging times. Be a Warrior for these families – register today and come get your socks dirty for a great cause!
