HAMMER DOWN!
Saturday, April 25, 2026 at 8:30 AM we are dropping the HAMMER! Registration includes a gender specific, dry fit style race shirt, finisher medal, the second in a three-year series, leading up to our 10th anniversary, finisher glass and three draft brews from Peticolas Brewery! Food trucks will be on hand selling food, the band will be on stage and you will be running or walking and enjoying a great day at the 9th annual Velvet Hammer 5K!
Don't want to run, but just want to join the party? We got that covered too with the new PARTY PASS which includes the race shirt, glass and three draft brews!
