Carrying on the tradition started by Easy Day Sports three years ago, participants in the Crown City Classic will start the race by running underneath a 2000 square foot American Flag right after the national anthem is played.

ROUTE

The 12K route has a slight course change. After the Naval Amphibious Base discontinued allowing the run to go on base in 2016, the 12K route now runs past NAB farther south towards Fiddler’s Cove on the bike path. With the new turn-around about 100 meters past the Nature’s Bridge to Discovery, Caltrans will now allow runners on the large shoulder of Hwy 75 for a portion of the return to avoid runner congestion on the Strand path. It’s a slight adjustment that affects about 1 mile of the course, and a positive one for runners wanting a flat and fast race with no out and back runner traffic.

REGISTRATION

Registration fee is $50 for the 12K, and $40 for the popular 5K distance; but these prices will increase by $10 on Monday, June 26 at midnight so we are encouraging everyone to sign-up now. The race includes a new URT designed shirt with a unique and creative perspective view of the bridge. All runners will also receive a very patriotic finishers medal!
