Event Options:

• 5K Timed Event – 9:30AM (line up by 9AM)
• A competitive event for participants who want an official “gun start to finish line” time to be considered for overall and age group top finisher awards. Runners will also receive a start mat to finish mat time for their race. This time will not be considered for awards but is produced for the personal records of the runner. Results will be made available @ www.heartrun.com within 48 hours of the race completion. Instructions for your timing chip are with your bib.
• 5K Non-Timed Event – 10:00AM (line up by 9:45AM)
• A non-competitive event for those who enjoy walking or running. Participants are not timed and will not be considered for awards.
• 3K Heart Lite Event – 10:00AM (line up by 9:45AM)
• The Heart Lite Event starts with the non-timed 5k participants and is for those interested in a shorter, flatter course. This approximately 3K course follows the traditional course, but instead of heading up the APU hill, you turn left and head back toward the finish. Participants are not timed and will not be considered for awards.

Awards Ceremony

• The awards ceremony will directly follow the timed event and will recognize the overall finisher and survivor performances.
• (a survivor is anyone who has suffered either a heart or stroke incidence.)
