🏃‍♂️ RUN THE CANAL 5K
Presented by CSRA Running Series

This isn’t just a race… it’s your reason to start.

The Run the Canal 5K is built for real people — whether you’re just getting off the couch, getting back into a routine, or chasing your next goal.

No pressure. No intimidation. Just progress.

Run it. Walk it. Take your time.
Just don’t sit this one out.

 
🌊 WHY “RUN THE CANAL”?
Inspired by one of the CSRA’s most iconic paths, this event represents movement, consistency, and forward progress — just like the canal itself.

This isn’t about being the fastest.
It’s about showing up for yourself.
