RESTRICTIONS: For safety purposes, baby joggers/strollers, roller skates, in-line skates, bikes, skateboards and dogs will be prohibited on the race course.
Earn a Souvenir Shirt for You and a Friend: George Sheehan once said the difference between a jogger and a runner is an entry form. We all have a friend who runs regularly but has never entered a road race. Help us promote the sport of running by convincing that friend to enter the Shirt Factory Five. If you sign-up a first time racer, we will award you and your friend with a special souvenir t-shirt in addition to your sweatshirt. First time racers will have special color coded numbers identifying them as a novice racers and making them eligible for special prizes. To take advantage of this offer we MUST receive your application and your friends application in the same envelope no later than September 15. Thank you in advance for introducing another runner to a Great sport and a Great race.
REMEMBERING THE SCREEN FIVE: The Shirt Factory Five is a rebirth of the famed Screen Five Road Race held on the same course from 1983 to 1986. During this time, the Screen Five grew from a 900 entrants to over 4000. If you ran any of the Screen Five races bring one of the original shirts to registration and we'll give you a special gift.
