- Run the Rock 5k & 10k
- Mascot races
- Military displays

You can register for the KidsRun or the Run the Rock race here. The KidsRun will be first, earliest starting ages at 9:00 a.m., the next groups at 9:15, and then finally the adults will run the 5 or 10k starting at 10. Registration for the 5k and 10k is $38. All of the KidsRun races have a registration fee of $18.
Packet pickup for those doing the race will be Friday, May 20 from 4:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m. at the Lock & Dam Lounge (building 60 on the arsenal). Race day registration will be from 6:30 a.m.-8:00 a.m. at Memorial Field and it is cash only.
