The Sunglasses Run 5K

You will have it made in the shade at this fun event celebrating Summer, at Longview Lake Beach!  The Sunglass Run 5K is an event for the whole family with a 5K run/walk and kids run afterwards!  All participants in the 5k will receive a finishers medal and a pair of Goodr brand sunglasses!  5K participants will receive a pair of the popular Goodr sunglasses that are designed to keep you looking cool while being active!  Instead of preselecting a style from a limited set of options when you register, you will pick your style from a broader selection at packet pickup on a first come, first served basis. If you don't need sunglasses, you can opt out and save $12. Participants can also add an event shirt if they like for just $8!  Sign up today and help us raise funds for our charity partner, Zero Reasons Why.

Awards will be presented to the fastest male and female finishers, the fastest masters male and female finishers, and the top three male and female finishers in the following age groups: 14 and under, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79 and 80 and over.

The 2024 Charity Partner for the Sunglasses Run is Zero Reasons Why, a community initiative to reduce teen suicide in the area. Learn more about their efforts and how to get involved at www.zeroreasonswhy.org.
