Great Donut Run

Sunday, May 17, 2024

Irvine Valley College                                

Welcome back Donuteers!  We are so excited to bring the Great Donut Run back in person with more donuts then ever before!  If you haven't registered yet then donut hesitate and sign up today!   We've got an easy breezy 1 miler at 7:30 the 5k run/walk at 8:00am. Both races are open to all ages and abilities. Take all the time you need to finish. This is not a timed event. We've got yummy donut holes at the halfway point on the 5k to keep you carbed up along the way.  We also have the Donut Double Dare if you want to run the 1 mile and 5k back to back!  Double the fun Double the donuts!  For all the kiddies looking to earn their own race bling we start their races at 9:15.  We have several distances from 50 yards to half a mile, based on ages from zero (yes, under 1 year old! ) to 12 yrs old.  It's never too early to start dashing for donuts!  Whatever race you choose, you're donuts will be safely waiting for you!  We've also got gorgeous big bling finishers medals that you'll love!

The race starts and finishes in the same location at Irvine Valley College. The course is walker and stroller friendly.  It's all flat and fast and this is a non timed, family fun run.  This is a great way for first timers to get out and enjoy a race without any pressure or timelines!  Get your donut friendly gear on and win one of many costume awards!  We can't wait to see you! 

Online Registration closes on May 13th.  If you miss the deadline you can register at Packet Pick up at Road Runner Sports in Laguna Hills on Saturday, May 16th.  We'll be there from 12-4pm or you can register on race day but please come early!
