We are happy to return to the roads in 2021, so come run with three time Olympian Brian Diemer on our new, flat and fast 5k course. Don't forget - if you beat Brian, you win a donut! This year we are celebrating the 31st Anniversary of the Brian Diemer Family of Races and are excited to share this event has become its own 501c3 non-profit.

We have worked out plans with guidance from the Kent County Health Department and Metro Health Sports Medicine that are designed to provide you with a safe experience. We are excited to provide our community with an in-person race experience. Be sure to read our plans below before you register.

We will have outdoor, social distanced packet pick-up and registration at Legacy Christian School's soccer field. To keep everyone spread out, participants will be registering to participate in time blocks of 10 minutes. Currently, 250 people are allowed per time block; however, as Covid-19 conditions approve, we hope to add additional capacity in the waves as deemed safe by the Kent County Health Department and Metro Health Sports Medicine. We will be using chip timing, allowing participants to compete against the entire field of participants, not just those who are in their wave. Our start and finish lines are in a common spot but are staged on a five lane road that will allow us to keep starting athletes and finishing athletes socially distanced from each other. Start corrals will be spread out by paces and finishing athletes will be led directly out of the area to keep them spread out. We ask that masks be worn at the start and finish lines or any time you are not running. Water stations will be self serve. Post race refreshments will be pre-packaged grab and go set up.

We are offering a virtual option for those who are not able to participate in person, make sure to select "view all" and scroll all the way down to locate it as a registration option. Virtual participants will not be eligible for awards but will receive their race shirts and bibs.
