Welcome!

 

Welcome to the Get in Gear 36th Annual Rite of Spring. We are proud to celebrate our 36th year with the 10K, 5K, 2K and Half Marathon events and to be a part of an event so richly steeped in history and tradition.

It is very exciting to be a part of the running industry within our community and to continue to provide a high quality and well managed running event as the overall mission of the Get in Gear.

To continue to further enhance our events, we never stop investigating what the runners are looking for in a well managed race.

 
Needs change with the years and are underscored by rapid advances in technology. Despite challenging economic times we continue to offer a first tier fee that is one of the lowest you will find for the value in return.  The green revolution has coaxed us into offering more and more sponsor related coupons and special offers virtually, and better ways of being ecologically efficient in managing transportation with carpooling efforts and on-site bike corrals.  Our timing and scoring of events is now done with a chip embedded bib number and social networking has exploded into a network of Facebook fans and followers and we will continue to trend.

The Get in Gear has something for everyone and everyone gets something.   Great shirts, medallions, awards, food, corporate and school competition, give-away items and many special awards just for participating.

Our primary charitable partner is Second Harvest Heartland to help fight child hunger.   With the help of our generous participants and our donation match program, Get in Gear, Inc.  has contributed over $100,000.00 in the fight to end child hunger.   We are proud to continue to support this honorable and worthy cause in our community.

We have an excellent race management team committed to making the Get in Gear events a great experience for our valued participants, our appreciated sponsors and supporters and our awesome volunteers that help us bring you the quality event to meet your expectations.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, April 27, 2013.
