Participants estimate the time it will take to walk two miles around a paved surface on the Abbey grounds. The person finishing closest to their estimated time wins (see registration form). 1st and 2nd places, male and female in each age group. Anyone wearing a watch will be disqualified.
Registration and Packet pick up for the in-person event will begin at 7:30 a.m. and go until 8:45 a.m. on the day of the race at the Welcome Center on the campus of Conception Abbey & Conception Seminary College.

There will be awards for most participants from one business, fastest average time in the 5K run, and closest average time to estimated time in the 2-mile walk. This means there are 3 trophies to be won!
