The race begins with a series of Open 5Ks for all paces. Experience the energy of the race with over a thousand fellow runners and spectators.

• The top 70 finishers in each Open advance to a 3K Final
• Places 1–35 move on to the Super Final
• Places 36–70 compete in the B Final

Super Final start order is based on 5K finish placement, starting grid style.

Running is (or at least can be) a team sport and in this vein the Bandit Grand Prix is introducing a team competition. Teams will be scored cross country style with a little twist...

• 6 total scorers per team (max 3 per gender; no limit to team size)
• Scoring counts across Super Finals and B Finals
• The lower each individual finishes, the better your team score
• Top 3 teams receive prize money
• First place team wins a special award

• Teams of four, maximum of two males
• Each runner runs 1k on the crit style course
• $80 team entry fee

• 12:00PM: Festival Opens
• 2:00 - 5:30PM: 5K Open Races
