RACE DAY 2022
Race Day Start:
The 5k starts at 8 AM on Saturday January 15. It starts and finishes at the pavilion at the Hillsborough County Fairgrounds (215 Sydney Washer Rd, Dover, FL 33527).
Race Access Information:
The fairgrounds gate will be closed off at 7:55 AM. The gate will be shut when the race starts. The race uses the roads throughout the fairgrounds, and for everyone’s safety, no motor vehicle traffic is allowed until all runners have finished. If you have someone coming to watch the race, they need to arrive before 7:55 AM. We expect to be able to reopen the gates at approximately 9:05 AM.
Camels:
Camels? Yes, Camels! The camels of Camel Kingdom will be onsite during our 5k. They live at the fairgrounds when they are not participating in events. You will run by them during the 5k. Please do not cross the barrier to get close to them. They are friendly animals but if they don't know you, they don't know you. Feel free to take a picture from a safe distance away.
Restrooms:
The restrooms at the fairgrounds will be open for participants and spectators.
Concessions:
-
Basic Brew Coffee will be onsite selling coffee.

Raffle:
Our generous sponsors have donated some great raffle prizes this year! Every participant is entered into the raffle! Everyone's bib number is entered into the raffle and all you need to do is stick around (must be present to win)! NEW THIS YEAR: We will conduct the raffle as the race takes place and list the winners. When you are finished with the 5k, check the raffle table to see if you won.
