The Kook Run

Welcome to The Crown Point Relay, 8K, & 5K—aka the Ultimate Running Block Party! 🏃‍♀️🎉

At our race, the finish line is just the beginning. The real hero of the experience? Our energized Festival Village and Team Pit Row! 😎🎸

Instead of decorating cramped van windows, our teams go all out pitching and decorating 10x10 tailgate tents, rocking wildest coordinated costumes, and partying alongside dozens of other teams. We are trading the suffering for collective celebration!

What to expect:
- Team Pit Row: Your crew’s ultimate home base. Think college gameday meets a coastal music festival.
- Costumes & Creativity: If you aren’t matching, are you even racing?
The Block Party: High-energy music, interactive team zones, and a post-race vibe you won’t want to leave.
- Distances for Everyone: Grab your squad for the Relay, or tackle the Individual 8K or 5K. Come for the miles, stay for the party.
