Whether you're channeling your inner Player 456 or keeping order as a Front Man, the atmosphere will be electric with high-stakes energy. The tension doesn't end at the finish line, either—once the 5K is complete, all survivors will gather for a massive, heart-pounding game of Red Light, Green Light. One wrong move could be your last (metaphorically speaking, of course), so keep your eyes on the doll and your feet ready to freeze. Every participant will be fully equipped for the games, receiving a personalized race bib featuring an integrated RFID timing chip, an exclusive event shirt, and a collector’s finisher medal to prove you made it through. To ensure the results are as precise as the game's rules, the race is professionally chip-timed by Victory Sports. Competitive players will be vying for more than just survival, as prestigious awards will be presented to the top three overall finishers as well as the top three in each age group for both male and female categories. Secure your spot, watch your back, and remember: the game is only just beginning.
