Early sign up is $27.50 for adults ages 16 and up and $15.50 for children ages 5 to 15 accompanied by an adult; but there are price increases up until the event day, so be sure to register sooner rather than later!
WHAT DOES THE EVENT DAY LOOK LIKE?
Please arrive at the QC JAVA JOG at least 30 minutes before your start time.

After you run / walk the Trails, you will receive a Medal or Dog Tag for your hard work …

GENERAL NOTE ABOUT LITTER...
This run/walk is not like a big city marathon where you might have a cleanup crew that follows behind the runners to pick up debris.
We rely on the runners to be responsible for disposing of their refuse properly. Trash boxes will be placed about 100 yards in either direction from each other, so please use them.
Please do not leave cups, gel wrappers, clothing or other items anywhere on the course.
**** Please, no littering anywhere on the course.
