Zero K Fun Run

Join us for The Zero K Nessie Run.

That’s right – the “run” is so short, we don't even want to measure it! It takes no talent to finish this “race”. So whether you are a workout junkie, a full-time couch potato, or somewhere in between this event is for you! 

The Nessie Zero K Run is a fundraiser for The Hammock House, St. Columba Episcopal Church’s free after-school and camp program.  

How To Participate:

  1. Register for the Zero K Nessie Run below or day of event

  2. Get your run swag at our registration table at The Celtic Crossroads tent beginning Sat. January 11th

  3. Make a difference in our community

All ages are welcome. 
Early registration is only $25
Race Day registration is $30.
Space is limited, sign up now!

The race will be held at Marathon Community Park during The Florida Keys Celtic Festival Sunday, January 12th at 12PM.

The Nessie Run will start at 12, and the after party will start at 12:01. It might be hot in the FL Keys, but no worries, we've got you covered at our rehydration and donut station at the halfway point for carb-loading and energy. 

Plus don’t forget to show off by “running” in your finest Celtic garb! Prizes will be given!

Don't feel like running? Just want to feel cool?

Then you should upgrade to VIP.
Brag to the world that you competed in the shortest Celtic run and made it there first!

Celtic "Rock Star" VIP:

For an additional $30, you don't even have to run! How awesome is that?! Limo transportation may or may not be provided. (May not is probably more likely, but go ahead and get your hopes up.)

The official Nessie Zero K run shuttle is a tricked-out golf cart. If you don't want to walk, we'll shuttle you! Sport your Celtic "Rock Star" VIP lanyard and walk around strutting your stuff. Cross the finish line as a Gold Medal “Winner” and you can take a whole bunch of selfies, post them all over social media, and generally remind all of your friends & family just how awesome you are.  


Pre-Registration Form and payment for the Nessie Zero K Fun Run.

You may also register day of event, Sunday January 12th.


Nessie Run Participants:

Every athlete gets a Nessie Fun Run T-shirt and a bag full of awesome swag (while supplies last), and of course a winner’s medal.

Kids under 10 can run for free and will receive a prize, but not a shirt, sorry.
