UPDATED INFO (posted 7:10 p.m. 1/17/2026)
Dear Participants,
Out of an abundance of caution, due to unfavorable course conditions and expected snowfall in the morning, the 43rd Hangover 5K Run scheduled for tomorrow has once again been postponed (NOT cancelled).
A new event date will be determined after coordinating with our partners in the city government and service providers and will be shared as soon as it is confirmed.
Many of you have contacted us regarding hoodie pickup. Updated details on hoodie pickup will be provided once the new event date has been finalized.
We are equally frustrated and completely empathize with you regarding this news; however, we cannot compromise the safety of our participants. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support.
Please stay safe.
