Twilight Runs | Highlands Rotary Club
Written By: Luke Osteen | Issue: 2021/04 – April
The exclusive Twilight 5K and 10K Race will wind through Highlands on Saturday, May 15. For more information or to register, visit highlandstwilight5kand10k.com.
A marvelous way to celebrate surviving the last year is to sign up for the Rotary Club of Highlands Twilight 5K and 10K, set for 6:00 P.M. Saturday, May 15.
Runners must be 15 or older to participate in the 10k, since part of the course will be unmonitored. The 5k will be fun for the whole family – strollers are welcome and walkers can join in – yet it will be challenging for experienced runners.
The 10k will climb Big Bear Pen Mountain, leading to the race’s somewhat ominous challenge, “Will You Eat The Bear or Will It Eat You?”
Awards will be presented to the overall Top Male and Female (5k and 10k), Top Masters(5k), Grand Masters (5k), Senior Grand Masters (5k) and Top Three Finishers (5k and 10k) in each five-year age division.
You can register at highlandstwilight5kand10k.com. Sign up by April 15 to be guaranteed a T-shirt. Extra shirts will be ordered after that date, which will be first-come first-serve.
There’ll also be light up necklaces for the kids, and everyone of legal age crossing the Finish Line gets a beer from the Ugly Dog Pub.
There will be a Rock n Roll Concert by Tea 4 Three, Highlands’ own rock n roll band, during and after the race from 6:00 to 10:00 P.M.
Kids under 5 may run the 5K for free. Kids 5 to 9 may participate in the 5K for $10. Day of race price will be $40 for 5K and $50 for 10K, so sign up early at highlandstwilight5kand10k.com.
All proceeds will go to Highlands School for technology.
