Run The Parkade

Run The Parkade
Presented by Frontrunners x Notorious Run Club x On x Outway

Picture it:
Dark concrete under your feet. LED lights slicing through the night. A live DJ set and Teams tearing through a parking lot after hours.

No rooftop, no open lot - this one runs underground. Loud, dark, and electric, and built for anyone who wants a piece of it.

$28/participant to register

The Course:
400m of hairpin turns, and straightaways, lit up and set to music

How It Plays Out:
Bracket-style, single elimination, 1 team, 4 runners, 400m each.

• Heats: 8 heats of 6 teams. Go up against 5 other squads, top 2 finishers move on.
• Semifinals: 4 heats of 4 teams. Win your heat, you're through.
• Final: The 4 semifinal winners face off for the title of Run the Parkade Champions.

Each teammate covers 400m, then hands off the baton. Fastest combined time takes the heat.

If you are a part of a team, make sure to register under that team!

Teams of 4. 48 teams max.

One rule that matters: every team needs at least one runner who identifies as female or non-binary.

No team yet? Sign up solo, we'll get you placed. Still unmatched by race day, we'll randomly slot you into a squad. Nobody gets left out.

And this isn't just for the young and fast. Whether you're 19 or 60, a first-timer or a seasoned racer, if you've got the energy, we want you there.

What's in it for you:
Food and snacks on site.

On demo shoes to try.

Live DJ set from Malnacidos Collective.

A free pair of custom Outway socks for every participant.

And a night you'll be replaying in your head for weeks.
