Things You Think You Know About Registering, But Do You?

  • Each runner must complete a separate race registration to ensure we have full participant information for every athlete.
  • The same runner can register for multiple events within a single registration by adding other races to your cart.
  • To register, choose a race event and select your options. Repeat the process for each race you want to run.
  • For each race, you’ll have the option of having your packet mailed to you in advance (bib, timing chip and shirt; add $22/event, deadlines apply), or pick-up your race materials at packet pickup (free).
  • At checkout, you may create an account (recommended). This will allow you to confirm your registration during the season and speed registration for future Run Stillwater events.

Thank you and happy running.

2025 Medals Will Follow the Run Stillwater Tradition and Fit Together as a Set

The most asked question before the season starts – “When can we see the medals?”  Here they are. The design is always fresh and new, but the overall theme stays the same.

Of course, each medal stands on its own. But, by running all five Run Stillwater races you’ll see they fit together to form the Run Stillwater Race Series set.

Every year we try to out-do ourselves and 2025 is no different. We hope you’ll love them as much was we do!
