GRETA’S RUN RACE DAY CHECKLIST 💜 🏃♀️✨
Before you head to Roosevelt Intermediate School tomorrow morning, here are a few helpful reminders to make your race day smooth and stress-free!
✔️ Arrive Early
Bib & T-Shirt Pick-Up and Registration open at 7:45 AM. We highly encourage everyone to arrive early, especially if you still need to pick up your bib. There will be on-site registration but it will be quicker and easier to do before you come!
✔️ 5K Starts at 9:00 AM
Please plan to be at the starting line a few minutes before the race begins!
✔️ Parking
Parking is available near the Westfield YMCA and the Westfield Train Station. Please allow extra time to walk over to Roosevelt Intermediate School.
✔️ Bring Your Friends & Family
There will be music, community partners, refreshments, kids activities, and so many opportunities to connect as a community.
✔️ Stay for the Lion’s Roar After Party 🦁
After the race, head over to Lion’s Roar Brewing Co. to continue the celebration with the Greta’s Run community! It’s the perfect way to unwind, connect, and celebrate an incredible morning together.
✔️ Prepare for an Emotional & Inspiring Morning
As you approach the final half mile of the 5K course, you’ll pass hundreds of Memory Walk signs honoring the loved ones our community is remembering and celebrating tomorrow. 💙
Most importantly — thank you for being part of Greta’s Run. Because of YOU, grieving children and families continue to receive free support, connection, and hope through Imagine.
