RUN LIKE A UNICORN

-

Description

Ready to get off the sofa and gallop around LIttleton with some friends?  Yeah, you are!  Come frolic with us at the Unicorn Runner 5k at Clement Park to kick off your summer!  You'll earn a sweet tee shirt and a flashy unicorn finisher medal!

It's a 5k distance for all, and whether you walk, trot, canter or gallop, we'll be happy to see you!  This event also features a shorter saunter for those not quite ready to enjoy a full 5k!  The untimed 'saunter' run is long enough to get your heart rate up and be a 'real run' without being a sprint!

Costumes are encouraged and we're holding a COSTUME CONTEST for DIY costume-clad participants!

Remember to refer your friends and you can earn back up to $20 back from your registration fee.  Also - teams of 5 or more each get $5 off their registration.  So form a group and get your buddies to join you today!

Registration price INCLUDES a ticket to the Unicorn Festival on both Saturday and Sunday with ALL of the activities offered for FREE!

UNICORN FESTIVAL!

We are pleased to partner with the Unicorn Festival and invite you to stay after the run to participate in all things Unicorn!  Each run registration includes ONE ticket into the two-day festival.  Additional festival tickets for your non-running spectators can be purchased right here during registration and you'll receive all entry wristbands when you check in for the run.  This way, you avoid all the lines and get to enter the festival at the end of the run! (Festival opens at 10 AM)

See website for more information.
