Pirates Run for Booty

X Marks the spot and you'll find it at the FINISH LINE!  Step through the finish arch and each finishing pirate will grab a coin from the bag of booty!  If your coin is a winner, you'll be awarded a prize!  Although there are many prizes to be awarded, the one you're after is CA$H!  One buccaneer will walk away with $100!  (1 with $50 and 2 with $20!)  Prizes are awarded randomly and are not based on performance.  Registered, bib wearing participants who start and finish the 5k before 9:15 AM on race day are able to draw a prize coin.  Prizes must be claimed at the registration tent by 9:15 AM.  No prizes will be awarded after the end of the event.

This is not your traditional running shirt - this is a casual blend with a relaxed fit available in standard adult sizing.  This soft blend will be your next go-to comfy shirt when you want to sport tasteful, yet slightly edgy pirate wear!  5k Registrants choose a t-shirt size during registration.

See SWAG/Sizing Page for size charts.

Every 5k FINISHER receives a MEDAL and a chance to pull some winning booty from the booty bag!

Kids Dash participants earn a prize/finisher award at the finish line of the 200 yard dash!

Kids 2-8 in the Kids Dash are invited to decorate their own FREE take-home pirate hat at the Lil Buccaneer table in the expo on race day!  Kids Dash participants also earn a prize/finisher award at the finish line of the 200 yard dash!

We are very exited to partner with Food For Hope for the Pirates Run for Booty!  Food for Hope delivers food to local children in Adams County. For this race you have two ways to help out. You can do an online  DONATION or bring in-kind food donations for a chance to win a raffle prize! Either way you choose to help out your generous donations go directly to LOCAL Adams County children.  Food for Hope programs include:

Weekend Food Bags: Every week, volunteers meet to put together a bag full of nutritious food for each child enrolled in our elementary school program.  Bags include a vegetable (canned or fresh), a fruit (canned or fresh), whole grains, protein items, and 2 breakfasts/snacks. Volunteers deliver bags to participating schools on Thursday of each week, to be distributed before they leave for the weekend.

School Fuel: Students need snacks at school to maintain focus, keep their energy up, and find success in their classes. Many teachers have reported to us that they use personal finances to purchase extra snacks for their students who are not able to bring one from home. We created this program to provide school day snacks, and alleviate the financial burden from teachers who are providing this on their own.

NEW IN 2022:  We are now supporting 8 In School Food Banks in Adams County!

We are proud to partner with Sneakers4Funds! When you donate your gently used or new athletic shoes, a donation is made to our ongoing charity partner, Growing Home!
