Friday, October 16 · 4:30 PM
Rocks, roots, and a free shuttle. Here’s how Friday works.
Where does the race start?
At Dodson Street Park, at the top of Dodson Street. Map pin for the start.
Where do I park?
There is no parking at Dodson Street Park for anyone but race staff — no runners, no spectators. Park in the lot behind PBS at ArtsQuest and take our free shuttle. Map pin for the shuttle pickup · Parking map
When does the shuttle run?
- To the start: first shuttle 2:15 PM, last shuttle 4:00 PM, about every 25 minutes.
- Back after the race: first shuttle 5:30 PM, last shuttle 6:45 PM.
Can spectators ride the shuttle?
Yes, as long as they’re over 4 years old. The shuttle can’t carry riders 4 and under — email info@runegades.com and we’ll try to work something out.
Can I get dropped off or picked up instead?
Yes. There’s a turnaround area right where you enter Dodson Street Park.
Where do I pick up my packet?
Friday at the expo (ArtsQuest, 101 Founders Way) from noon to 2:30 PM, or at the race start from 3:00 to 4:30 PM.
Are there bathrooms at the start?
Yes, porta-potties near the starting line.
Is there a time limit?
Yes — the finish line closes at 6:15 PM, and the last shuttle back leaves at 6:45 PM.
Are there awards?
Yes — top 3 male and female overall and by age group (19 & under, 20–29 … 70–79, 80+). The ceremony starts around 5:30 PM near the finish. Finish after the ceremony? You can still pick up your award on-site, but you must get it before you leave — awards are not mailed.
Can I run with a stroller or my dog?
No. We love kids and dogs, but not on this course. (Kids running next to you on their own two feet are fine.)
Will there be post-race snacks?
Of course — and they’ll be delicious.
