The Arc Grand Prix Run and Walk

• All participants will receive a short-sleeved performance crew t-shirt. Be sure to register early to guarantee your shirt size!
• All youth participants, regardless of the distance, will receive a finisher ribbon.

Participants may choose to register for:

1) The Track: This 3.4-mile course is the full distance of the WGI race track and includes “the boot”. This is a timed course.

2) The Pit Road – This is a 1-mile course intended for those who would prefer to run or walk a short distance, but still want an “up close and personal” view of a portion of the full track. The course includes a view of Victory Lane then loops back to the finish line via Pit Road. Participants will not cross the timing mat but will end at the finish line along with participants of The Track course. There is no timing for this course.

This is an inclusive and fun race, so whether you’re a novice or expert runner, a walker, or somewhere in between, we’re thrilled to welcome you! When you sign up for The Track (3.4 mile) course, you are eligible to win an AWESOME award medallion.

Age Groups: Medals will be awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place male and female finishers of the 3.4 Mile Course in the following age brackets: 5 – 9, 10 – 14, 15 – 19, 20 – 29, 30 – 39, 40 – 49, 50 – 59, 60 – 69, 70+.

Overall Winners: A medal will be awarded to the overall male and overall female finisher of the 3.4 Mile Course.

Award winners can immediately get their award from the awards table. We do not have an award ceremony. Grab and go; don't waste the day waiting.
