The 5K is scheduled to start at 8 a.m. Early registration for the race is $20 until April 14 at midnight. Registration for the 5K is $25 from April 14-21 at 9 a.m. when online registration closes. Entry includes an event T-shirt and a pint glass (21 and up) for the first 200 entries. Custom medals will be awarded to the first 200 finishers.

The fun run/walk is slated to kick off at 9 a.m. Registration is $10 at all times and includes an event T-shirt only. Register online for all races at ShearwaterLiving.com/5K.
