The race format allows runners an opportunity to choose to participate in the 5k Roots Run at 5pm, the 10K Rock Run at 6pm, or the 15k Reggae Run, which will be a combined time of the 5 and 10k’s. Participants who choose the 15K receive a tie dye and a tech t-shirt, while all other participants receive the colorful tech t-shirt.
The post race SunSplash Party promises to be fun and entertaining. In its inaugural year, the event will be held on May 11th, the anniversary of Bob Marley’s death in 1981. “Dreadlocks and tie dye are welcome,” commented event organizer, Mark Weisner. The colorful Post Race SunSplash Party & Award Ceremony is a celebration of all things Bob and will feature live reggae music from “Patwa”, refreshments, beer, a Bob Marley look-alike contest, and more.
The SunSplash Party is open to the public and will offer food & beverage sales.
