Costume Contest
Do you like to run dressed in your Berry best? Is your team all-in for a theme? Or maybe you jam out all alone? Dress up with a Strawberry theme, and join us after the run at the Tri-City Medical Center Main Stage at 9:30 am for our Runners’ Costume Contest! Fun prizes for the Berry best-dressed runners! Even if costumes aren’t your jam, join us to cheer for your favorite solo or team costumes.
