Raider Run

RAIDER RUN — 8K DOUBLE RUN (5K + 3K)

Two races. One challenge.

Ready to try something different? The Raider Run challenges you to race, recover, and return to the starting line for round two!

Start with a 5K, take a recovery break, and then tackle a 3K. Your times from both races are added together to determine your final placing. The break doesn’t count toward your score—but how you recover and prepare for the second race is part of the challenge!

How it works

Complete the 5K first.
The 3K begins 75 minutes after the start of the 5K. Your recovery time depends on when you finish the first race.
Complete the 3K and combine your two running times for your official 8K Double Run result.
Whether you’re chasing a top finish or working toward a personal goal, you’ll have two starting lines, two finish lines, and one achievement to celebrate.

The shirt is yours. The medal is earned.

Every registered participant receives a Raider Run event T-shirt. Finish both races to earn your 8K Double Run finisher’s medal—a reminder that you accepted the challenge and completed the whole thing.

Awards

Awards recognize male and female overall Double Run champions and age-group winners based on combined times. Age groups are under 18, 18–29, 30–39, 40–49, 50–59, and 60 and older. The fastest male and female 5K and 3K performances among Double Run finishers will also be recognized.
