Volunteers needed: Events like ours need your generous help. If you can help by volunteering for race morning duties, please email us - lewis.george@dadfest.com |

| ChronoTrack
Timing at Dadfest: Dadfest will use the ChronoTrack timing system, which records your time precisely from start to finish. Your timing tag is now disposable and will come with your bib number when you get your race packet. No more lining up to get your timing chip race morning, and no waiting to have your timing chip retrieved at the finish line! Awards will be based on gun time. |

| Free
health assessment risk screenings!: Details soon. |

| The
50 Yard Dash (Children age 8 and under) This a great opportunity for the smaller kids to be featured and cheered on while running. We will run waves of children 6-8 at a time so each kid gets that special attention! There will be finisher medals for all kids crossing the finish line. Children 5 & Under can run the 50 Yard Dash (if they are not running the 5k) at no charge as long as an adult has a paid entry. Registration for all children doing the 50 Yard Dash does not need to be done in advance. You only have to sign a liability waiver for your child when you pick up your packet or race day at the event. We will have plenty of child T-shirts available for all. |

| The
Dad's Day 5K: Walkers are welcome! We will be running our 16th edition of the Dad's Day 5k at 8:30 am. We will award the top 3 finishers in the following age groups: 0-8, 9-12, 13-15, 16-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80-89, 90+. Awards also for the overall and master's male and female finishers. Prostate Cancer Survivors can compete in the survivor division with awards for the top five finishers |
||||||||
| 5K Dad and
Child Teams: Because the 5k teams have become so popular we have expanded our age group categories this year. Team times will be based on the combined times of Dad & Child. We will have awards for the top three Dad and Male Child teams and top three Dad and Female Child teams in each age group. The age groups based on the child's age are: 0-8, 9-10, 11-12, 13-17, 18-25, and 26+. |
||||||||
| Here are our
5k-team rules: Anyone that is entered as a team will not be eligible for individual awards. This means if either Dad or child thinks they will win age group awards don't enter as a team. Your team age group will be determined by the age and sex of the child. So if Dad is 80 and child is a 50-year-old man then they are going to be in the male 26+ group. Both Dad and child must run the 5k to be a team. A child in a stroller does not count. Sorry Dad if you have more than one child and you want to be in the team competition, you have to pick one or all of you just compete in the regular 5k |

| The
Dad and Child Look-a-like Contest Presented by WBAP: You ask what is this? This is nothing but family fun on our Dadfest stage! All we need you to do is show up at our stage right after finishing the 5k with your children and we will bring you up in groups and our Dadfest crowd will vote their approval for the combination that looks the most alike. Great prizes for the top three Dad's and their kids. |
