There will be pre-registration the day of the event starting at 7:30 AM. Medals will be handed out to the overall winners and top three finishers in each age group along each top walker. Timing will be done by Integrity Racing.

All money raised will be donated to ResearchForCure.org and the Reeve Irvine Reeve Irvine Research Center. The center is named after Christopher Reeve and his family and their goal is to cure paralysis after a spinal cord injury. The money raised via the 5K will go directly to Spinal Cord Injury Research and human trials. The research has shown dramatic improvements in animal studies thus far. The hope and goal is to fund the ongoing trials on humans.

First 150 registered participants will receive a goody bag containing a 5K event t-shirt, coupons/gift certificates to local businesses and other small items (while supplies last). There will also be numerous giveaway drawings after the event. Each participant will be given a 50/50 ticket and that will used for picking the winners of the items being given away. Among the items being given away are handcrafted gold jewelry, Penn State football tickets, gym memberships, gift certificates to local restaurants, businesses and other items.
