Bush Park Thursday Nights in August Race Series 2021

Short review

Join us for the 50th year for Bush Park Thursday Nights in August Race Series.

After a crazy year and a half, and a late start this year due to all of the uncertainties surrounding the ever-changing COVID-19 restrictions, we are excited to bring back Bush Park Thursday Nights in August.  

Though the 3K and 5K courses needed to change slightly due to park regulations, the format of the races is the same.  We encourage you to sign up via RunSignUp online, but same day registration will be available as with previous years.  Each week's online registration will close Wednesday evening.  You can sign up for multiple races on multiple nights at once to save on processing fees.

Note:  The 500 Meter and 1600 Meter Kids races have no online registrations.  Registration for those races are only on the night of the event:

3000 Meters Course
5000 Meters Course

Thursdays in August 2021 are the 5th, WEEK 2 CANCELLED, 19th, and Award night, the 26th.  Each night the schedule is below:

5:00 pm Registration Table Opens
6:00 pm 3000 Meters - Open to All ($5, $6 on Awards Night)
6:20 pm 500 Meters - Under 7 Years Old ($2, $3 on Awards Night)
