All Crush N' Run 5K finishers will receive a unique finisher’s medal, a Crush N' Run tervis that honors discounted crushes on certain days of the year, along with one free Orange Crush at the after-party (must enter by 1:00pm to receive your free Crush). All participants are invited to enjoy the post-race festivities with live music and entertainment from 10:30am 'til 6pm at The Shack on 8th Street! Please wear your race bib to the post-race party, as that will give you free entry into the event.

What are the age limits for Crush N'Run?

Accepted Answer

We encourage participants of all ages to participate in the Crush N'Run 5K, and the after-party at the Shack will be open to all ages until 6:00pm. After 6pm, the event is 21+ only.

Fresh-squeezed orange juice will be available for those who do not care for the complimentary Orange Crush, or are not eligible due to age.

Question 5

What time should I be there?

Accepted Answer

We advise you to be at the race by 30 minutes prior to the start time of 10:30am. Please allow plenty of time to find parking and get to your corral at the starting line on time.

Question 6

Where can I park?

Accepted Answer

Parking is available throughout the resort area in metered parking spaces, and in the 9th Street Parking Garage at current city rates. Plan on bringing some cash to pay for parking. Nearby parking is likely to fill up early though, so please leave yourself plenty of time in case you have to park far away and walk. We STRONGLY ENCOURAGE you to carpool, ride your bike (bikes can be locked to the boardwalk, please avoid the finish line as this is a very congested area), Uber or get dropped off to avoid parking headaches - especially if you plan to enjoy the after party after the race!

Question 7

Is there a dry bag check?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You will receive a bag check tag and you will write your bib number on the tag and attach it to your bag when dropping it off. You must pick your dry bag up immediately upon finishing the race. We will not hold dry bags past 1:00pm. Any dry bags not picked up by 1:00pm will be returned to Chix on 7th. The desginated dry bag area will be to be determined closer to race date.
 
Waterman's, Chix, The Shack and Crush N' Run are not liable for lost or damaged items so please do not leave valuables in your dry bag.
