"Multi person/family discount means that you get $10 off the total registration fees when signing up more then 3 runners for the any of the runs besides the kid's run or walk".

Another....."You ask for it.....you get it".....

Many folks have been asking if we are giving age group awards in five year increments (versus ten year)....NOW we are!! From now on, ALL Scoogie events age group awards will be in FIVE YEAR age increments!!

AWARDS: Awards given for 8k & 5k only, Kids Run is for FUN!

Again, no mailing of awards or shirts. If you have to leave the race early for ANY reason, you must notify us to save your award.  If you do not, we cannot hold/store awards and will likely be given to a race day entry or someone else. It is simply too much to hold/store & inventory the awards.
