FAQs About the Course
Will there be on-site registration?
We do plan to have race day registration, but arrive early to get registered before the race start.
Will everyone be in costume?
Although this event is not a "Costume 5k" where everyone wears a costume, we do encourage people to celebrate the season and wear a costume if they'd like! And if you wear a costume you'll be entered to win a prize!
I'm not a serious runner, should I attend?
This event is for everyone! The race is timed, but we have lots of people who attend to enjoy the walk and support a great cause! There's something for everyone at this all-inclusive day of support for the recovery community.

Registration begins at 7:30 a.m. The Kids' Fun Run begins at 8:30 a.m., and the 5K Walk/Run starts at 9 a.m. Please plan to arrive no later than 8:30 a.m. to allow time to check-in and pick up your T-shirt.
What are my parking options at the event?
The walk/run will begin where Capitol Park meets the head of the Kennebec River Rail Trail in Augusta. You can park for free in the parking lot adjacent to the trailhead, in public parking spaces or at the Kennebec Valley YMCA. There will be signs on the road and look for the tent in the football field between the Kennebec Valley YMCA and the trailhead.
Will participants be timed?
Our event is professionally timed, but that doesn't mean you need to be a serious runner to participate!
Bib numbers will be distributed the morning of the event for every participant and should be pinned to the front of your shirts. A list of the times will be released to all attendees after the race. Not interested in what your time is? Not to worry, many people attend every year just to support the cause!
Note: If you DO NOT walk/run the entire length of the course, please exit just before crossing the finish line to ensure those who complete the entire race are assigned accurate ranks. There will be signs for early exit near the finish line.
What if it rains?
On Track to Recovery 5K Walk/Run will take place rain or shine. If there is lightning, the race will be postponed until we have been in the clear for 30 minutes. On event day, check Facebook at facebook.com/crisisandcounseling for weather status updates.
