Spanish Information

Join us for a morning of fitness, fun, and flushing out wasteful water habits before enjoying the Hometown Celebration Parade.  This year’s event blends community connection with water‑wise education—because even a running toilet can’t outrun this 5K.

💧 Don’t Let Your Toilet Run — But You Should!

💧 Be a Leak Detective — Solve the Case of the Wasted Water!

💧 Flip Your Flapper, Not Your Finish Time!

💧 An Ode to the Commode: Run, Laugh, Conserve.

 

Participants will enjoy:

• Scenic mountain views
• Race bibs & chip timing
• Swag bags
• Finisher medals
• Stylish event t‑shirts (see deadline below)
• A lively finish‑line party before the parade

 

💧 Every Step Counts — Every Drop Matters. Running toilets are the #1 household water waster. This event helps raise awareness, build community, and inspire simple fixes—like checking for leaks, flipping your flapper, and exploring toilet rebate programs.
