📝 Race Registration

Cannonball Crush is open to anyone 13 years or older and designed for all fitness levels. Racers may compete solo or as part of a team. Teams must have a minimum of 4 runners, and team awards are calculated using the average time of the top 4 runners.

There are three heat categories based on age:

• Teen Heats (13–17)
• Adult Heats (18+)
• Open Heats (13+)
  • These divisions allow racers to select the category that best matches their age and preferred experience.

All runners must register online in advance. Day‑of registration is not available. During registration, you will select your start time in 15‑minute increments, which will serve as your confirmed race time

This is a rain‑or‑shine, non‑refundable event. If you are unable to participate, you may still collect your race kit after race day or transfer your registration to another individual before May 29, 2026. To arrange a transfer or post‑race kit pickup, please contact the event team

🏁 Race Day

Check‑in begins at 7:00 a.m. inside the Great Hall near the main parking lot.

There is no pre–race day check‑in.

Plan to arrive at least 1 hour before your heat start time to allow time for check‑in, waiver completion (if needed), and warm‑up.

At race‑day check‑in, runners may pick up their individual race kit, or one team member may pick up all kits for their team, provided all runners have completed their online waivers.

Teen racers (13–17) who have not completed their waiver must arrive with a parent/guardian.

Fort Henry will open for historic programming at 12:00 p.m. (last entry 4:30 p.m.). Tickets are available online or at the Admissions gate.
