Miles for Meals 5K

Please look at the sub menus under Race Info for information on packet pick up, course, parking, etc.

Enjoy a beautiful evening under the Festival of Lights at Tanglewood Park! The Miles for Meals 5K is a walk/run event with a course that takes participants through the lights at Tanglewood. A fun event for the entire family, with food trucks, hay rides, and more. Come out and join us in supporting the Hillsdale Church Food Ministry!

*No dogs allowed on the course. This is for safety reasons. The route is dark and there have been accidents in the past with people's pets tripping participants and causing injury.*

This event will be timed using a bibtag timing chips. The timing chip will be on the back of the run number. Please make sure your number is clearly visible on the front of your body. This will not need to be turned back in after the race - it is disposable. It will be a chip time start. That means your time will not start until you reach the start timing mat. Make sure your number is clearly visible on the front of your body. Gun Time is the time the gun/horn started the event. Chip Time is the time your chip crossed the start timing mat. The awards for this event are based on Chip Time.

Top 3 in each of the following categories:

• • Top 3 M/F Overall
  • Top 3 Age Groups: 1-6, 7-10, 11-15, 16-19, 20--29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70+

Donations at the Covenant Partner level include two 5K entries and two food vouchers. Please read through the information below to reduce any confusion during registration.

Covenant Partners who wish to use at least one of the two 5K entries for themselves
(italicized notes below are only for folks who will be using both entries at the same time, for example, if you are signing up for yourself and your spouse/other):

1. You will click SIGN UP and choose the COVENANT PARTNER option.
    -if you are signing up the second 5K entry at the same time, then you will click +Add Another Registrant and choose Covenant Partner for their event as well
2. When you get to the TEAM window, you will CREATE A NEW TEAM
3. Select COVENANT PARTNER as the Team Type and name the team whatever you wish (do not have to set a password so ignore that button)
    -if you are signing up the second 5K entry at the same time, then make sure you select "Join the same team as" when on their entry
    -So first entry will CREATE the team and the second will JOIN THE SAME TEAM AS
4. Select shirt size and continue
5. When you get to the Donation window hit CONTINUE without selecting anything. Your donation will be included in your total, so you do not need to select Covenant Partner here. That is only for folks who wish to donate at the Covenant level without using any of the entries for themselves.

If the second 5K entry will be used later by someone you give the second entry to, then when they register they will choose Covenant Partner, and when they get to the Team window they will choose to Join an Existing team under the Covenant Partner type. Make sure they know your team name before they register. They will not be charged anything when they use the second entry, as your earlier registration will cover their entry fee.
