👇🏻👇🏻 don’t miss out!!
🚨 Gladstone… it’s officially LIVE. 🚨
Registration is now open for the inaugural Chafed & Confused 5K & 10K at Saunders Point Brewing on Saturday, August 15th.
First things first… you’ll need to decide:
😅 Chafed → 5K
😵💫 Confused → 10K
One is a fun little jog.
The other may have you questioning several life decisions by mile four.
This is a full-blown community event built around good people, controlled chaos, downtown energy, and supporting the 💜 Gladstone Girls Volleyball Program.
🏃♂️ 5K & 10K options
👟 All paces welcome
🎭 Costumes encouraged
🍻 Post-race celebration at Saunders Point Brewing
🎁 Giveaways from local businesses
📍 Race route through the Saunders Point area with brewery-themed surprises along the course
⚠️ Limited participant spots available
🧒 Kids 10 & under run FREE
We’re also excited to team up with Sip 906 Nutrition and Dairy Flo for post-race refreshments. Every participant will receive a race wristband redeemable for ONE post-race beverage at the location of their choice:
🍺 Saunders Point Brewing
🥤 Sip 906 Nutrition
🍦 Dairy Flo
So whether your recovery choice is a craft beer, loaded tea, shake, or ice cream… you get to decide how you celebrate surviving the course.
But now it’s time to start calling people out publicly.
Teachers.
Bartenders.
Paper mill crews.
Coaches.
City workers.
Business owners.
Parents who “used to run.”
We want to see teams. We want to see rivalries. We want to see costumes that make absolutely no sense.
And yes… we fully support the Gladstone Girls Volleyball team pressuring teachers and staff members into signing up.
Downtown businesses — your challenge is coming too. There may or may not be a ridiculous trophy involved.
This isn’t about being the fastest person on the course.
It’s about creating one of the most fun community events Gladstone has seen in a long time.
