Timed Race


The race will be timed by Compuscore. The timing device will be a b-tag that you will receive attached to your bib. We’ll have timing mats at both the start and the finish, which means your net time will be recorded regardless of when you cross the start line. Results will be available at Compuscore about a day after the race.

In order to avoid congestion at the start we’ll have minute per mile signs. Please line up at your expected pace per mile (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11+). Walkers and people with strollers should line up at the back.

 

Bag Drop

For your convenience, an area for bag drop will be provided at the race. Please consider not bringing a bag to check on race day and leave your valuables at home. The Hoboken Shelter is not responsible for lost or stolen items.

 

Start Line

Finishing times vary between 17 and 65 minutes. In order to avoid congestion at the start we’ll have minute per mile signs. Please line up at your anticipated pace per mile (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11+). Walkers and strollers will line up in back of the running race group.

 

Rules of Competition

Entrants must comply with City of Hoboken Parks and Recreation rules or risk disqualification.
