Adults receive a drink ticket, and pre-registered runners get a Great Lakes 5K Bier Run shirt. Dressing in authentic German costume earns a friend an extra free admission. 5K awards are given to the top overall men and women, plus age-group finishers. Adult age-group winners receive pint glasses, and younger winners receive medals.
