October 30 5K Longsleeve Update:

We’re beyond excited to share that this week has been record-breaking — registrations are already up 20% over last year! Because of the amazing turnout, our long-sleeve 5K shirts are running a little tight. If you signed up after Monday, Oct. 27, you’ll still get a shirt in your requested size, but it may be one from our Long Branch merch collection. Thank you for your understanding!
