Kaiser Permanente 5 Miler

PLEASE NOTE:
There is NO day-of-race registration or packet pick-up available for any of our events.

25th Annual 5 Miler

The Kaiser Permanente 5 Miler is a special event unto itself. There are mile markers and pace callers, not to mention special treats, food, and water at the finish line. The event is chip timed, and participants will finish early enough to cheer in the marathoners. There is a high percentage of women finishers (45 percent), just like with the marathon. Depending on the number of participants, we give awards up to 10 deep in 5 year age groups up to age 95.
