GETAWAY 5K/10K – THE RUN DOWN

Rooted in the belief that an active lifestyle and healthy living are important at any age, the Getaway 5K/10K is an officially timed race, yet still a fun run (or walk) for everyone. From first-timers to seasoned runners, toddlers to the 50+, friends’ weekend to family reunion, there are events for all levels and ages.

SHORT HISTORY, LONG FUTURE

The very first Getaway 5K/10K Race took place in February of 2017 in beautiful San Antonio, TX. Since then, the number of runners – and locations – have expanded, with races in Tampa/St. Petersburg and the Boulder/Denver area…and more locations planned for 2019! With the help of some really amazing local running communities in these cities, in just 18 months, the number of Getaway 5K/10K runners has more than tripled – and continues to climb with each race!

THE GEAR

In 2018, all 10K participants will receive a 1/4 zip pull-over jacket in a new, heathered-orange color scheme as their race premium! The 1/4 zip will feature an embroidered logo, thumbholes and a back zipper pocket to hold items while you run. The sweat-wicking material will be perfect whether you’re training for your next 10k or hanging out with friends!

• 95% poly 5% spandex
• ¼ zip long-sleeve performance pullover with moisture-wicking technology
• Heathered stretch material wicks sweat to keep you cool and dry
• Thumbholes & a zippered back pocket
• Mock neck, which zips to chin to help block out the elements
• Flat seam construction

All other race levels (5K and Kids Fun Run) will receive a race t-shirt as their premium. New t-shirt color for 2018 – racers receive a bright heathered-orange event t-shirt and this lightweight soft cotton t-shirt is the coolest race shirt you’ll receive yet. It’s the perfect addition to your collection!

THE MEDAL

Finishers of the 5K and the 10K will receive a race-specific medal featuring our eye-catching logo – designed using hefty metal and hanging from a high-quality, custom ribbon!

WHY THE ‘GETAWAY’ THEME?

Runners have so many races and themes to choose from throughout the year and many require travel, if you don’t live nearby. So, we thought: “Instead of runners traveling to one city for the race, why doesn’t the race travel to lots of cities for the runners?” And – voila! The Getaway 5K/10K was born! The goal was to host a series of really fun races, with events and activities for all ages, followed by an awesome after-party, in some of America’s most beautiful and scenic travel destinations, many times throughout the year.
