Changing events: this is extremely important. Changing distances must be done by November 10 by emailing the race director at s.landau@comcast.net. Changing events without notifying anyone will cause a huge mess with our ability to provide results. If you do switch distances after the start of the race, your time will not count for overall and age group awards. Please remember that the 10.6 miler is only for runners. You are always welcome to walk the 5.3 miler or the 5k.
Trail course directions (10.6 miler is strictly only for runners):
· The start/finish line is in front of the main parking lot, which is at the end of the park’s main road.
· You’ll start on a very short portion of the main road straight and then right to the entry to the Birding Trail, which you will run/walk counterclockwise.
· After the Birding Trail, you will go straight to the Canyon Loop Trail (counter-clockwise), then a right to the Romero trail for a .9 mile out- and-back (monitors will be there for directions).
· You will then travel right off of the Romero trail and back onto the Canyon Loop, still traveling counterclockwise.
· At the end of the Canyon Loop Trail, you will be on the park’s main road, where you will take an immediate right turn onto the Nature Trail, which you will run counterclockwise.
· When you finish the Nature Trail, 5.3 milers will head straight to the finish line.
10.6 Milers will then repeat the course for a second loop starting with the Birding Trail. Once finished with the Nature Trail, 10.6 milers will run to the finish line.
· You will not get lost, as long as you pay attention to our signs and course monitors. NEVER run up or down a wash and you’ll be on the course! You will only cross washes, never run up or down.
· Finally, there will be some areas of traffic on the course. Please do not run or walk 2-3 across and always listen to course monitors for instructions.
Water Stations: trail course – all participants should carry their own water. We will have one water stop before the Nature trail and at the finish. We will have bottled water before and after the Birding Trail and at the finish. If you take a bottle, it is your responsibility to carry it throughout the race. No littering please!
5k Road Run and Walk directions: your course is a very fast and flat out and back on the park’s main roads. You will start at the exact same time as the 10-mile trail race, but go in the exact opposite direction. We will have course monitors or large signs at all positions to keep you on-course! When on the park’s main road, you must always run on the north/coned shoulder!!! Please be sure to finish to your left (in the left lane) on the park’s main road!!! There will be one water station on the course that you can catch in both directions.
Timing: all timing will be done with chip timing. Your chip will be attached to the back of your race bib. If you do not wear your bib you will not receive a time and you will not be eligible to win an overall or age group award. Please remember to wear your bib on the front of your body.
Headsets: If you choose to wear headsets you implicitly agree that you are using it your own risk. It is incredibly important for you to hear others approaching and asking to pass, so please keep the volume at a level that will allow others to hear you. Remember, it is snake season. Stay aware!!! Safety is our #1 concern.
Shirts: participant finisher shirts will be handed out to you at the finish line. Unfortunately, we cannot change sizes at the finish. This will ensure that everyone gets what they ordered. You are welcome to ask when the race is complete. For those that did not meet the shirt deadline, we will sell them after the race for $7 cash if they are available.
Post-race food, drink: when you hit the finish-line grab yourself a free bottle of water and enjoy our free Mexican breakfast and coffee courtesy of Everyone Runs (for paid participants only), along with snacks from Natural Grocers and Skratch Nutrition. We will never close the course. Food, drink and friendly faces will await you no matter when you finish!
Awards: Our awards ceremony take place as each race finishes.
· Overall and age group awards will be for male and female overall 1st, 2nd & 3rd and in five-year male and female age groups.
· Exact age groups for both events, specifically for ages 19 and younger and 80+, will be determined based on the number of runners in those age groups and will be decided fairly and at our discretion.
Non-binary category available, but without medals for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place.
Race results will be posted no later than 1:00 p.m. at everyoneruns.net. For fast viewing of your finish time, simply enable participant tracking on our Run Sign Up page and you will have your result sent immediately to your phone!
Here’s to a great race!
