The Stuffing Strut 5K is a timed run/walk to support non-profits in North Hamilton County who assist families in need during the holidays. It takes place in Chester Frost Park on Dallas Island at the pavilion. This is a stroller and pet-friendly event.

Due to COVID-19, there will be extra safety measures in place this year to protect participants. Runners/walkers will line up accoding to anticipated finish time and maintain a 6 foot distance between one another until the race begins. There is also a mask mandate in place for Hamilton County so please plan to wear a mask up until you begin running/walking. Once you start racing, you can remove your mask and no longer have to maintain the 6 foot distance.

NEW THIS YEAR: Complete the race virtually and submit your time. Participants can complete a 5k on their own throughout the week and submit their time to blalor@nnhouse.org to be recorded for the race. If you can, please use a fitness app such as RunKeeper or MapMyRun to record your time.

All participants (including virtual racers) will receive an event t-shirt. Top in person finishers will receive medals in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in the male and female categories in the following age groups: 18 and under, 19-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60, 61 plus

Packet pick-up will take place on Wednesday, November 25 from 4-6 PM at Chester Frost Park Pavilion. There will not be race day registrtaion this year. The race begins promptly at 8:30 AM. You must sign up by November 10th to be guaranteed a t-shirt. Support from numerous sponsors and race participants has enabled Stuffing Strut, Inc (a not-for-profit 501c3) to help meet needs through donations to local agencies, businesses, and schools.
