SATURDAY
JUNE 10, 2023

Welcome Back!

Come run with three time Olympian Brian Diemer on our new, flat and fast 5k course. We have 6 live bands on our course, kids runs, hand-cycle, My Team Triumph, and prize money. Don't forget - if you beat Brian, you win a donut! This year we are celebrating the 33rd Anniversary of the Brian Diemer Family of Races, which is now a 501c3 non-profit.

More 2023 Details:

The t-shirt order will be placed on May 29. Athletes registering after May 29 will not be guaranteed a race shirt or preferred size. A limited quantity will be available on race day on a first come, first serve basis.

The Junior Jog and Steeplechase will be held on the Legacy Christian School's soccer field as always, this year we will have a rolling start beginning at 10:15 am-10:45am. There will be a staging area and we will start smaller groups in waves.

The Bands are Back!

Six bands - from blues to hill billy rock to a drum line, they are coming to rock your morning. So leave your headphones at home and unplug yourself while you speed through the fast 5K course. We look forward to seeing you out there!
