👻 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐏 𝐔𝐒 𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐄𝐑 𝐎𝐍 𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝟓𝐊 𝐑𝐔𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐒! 🏃🏻‍♂️🎃🏃🏾

We’re adding a little extra encouragement along the 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝟓𝐊 route this year, and we need YOUR help!

We’ll be placing fun and encouraging signs throughout the course to give runners a boost as they make their way to the finish line. Have a great message in mind? 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐦𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲!

𝐀 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰:
🎃 Signs must be family friendly and appropriate for all ages.
👻 Our standard signs backings are 8" × 12", but larger signs are welcome!
🎃 Larger signs should be made from sturdy poster board so they can be securely attached.
👻 Get creative! Messages can be encouraging, funny, or even a little spooky.
🎃 Space along the route is limited, so signs will be accepted first come, first served.
👻 Signs must be delivered by October 28 to give us plenty of time to get them placed along the route. Please note that available space is limited and may fill up before the deadline. If you’d rather hold your sign and cheer on the runners yourself, you’re always welcome to find a spot along the route and join in on race day!

📍 𝐃𝐫𝐨𝐩 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐦𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫.

Help us fill the course with encouragement and make race day a little more fun for everyone! 🧡🖤
