About This Event
Grand Opening & Route 66 Blue Whale RunThanks for the incredible enthusiasm for the Blue Whale Run! Our venue is officially bursting at the seams!
To ensure we have enough medals for all finishers, keep the course safe and fun, maintain high vibes, and control crowding, we are capping registration.
When the 5K fills up, you can still register for the fun run and get a medal.
Shirts are limited and will be gone when they run out, so make sure you register soon to ensure you get one.
We are so excited and can't wait to see you there!
