There will be a bag drop area near the aid station for you to stash your items. 

Timing and Results:

Timing will be gun time style timing, using chips on the back of your bibs. It is very important you wear your bibs pinned to your shirt or shorts. We will be timing every lap you are out there and if you miss the cut off you are out of the race. Results will be posted on our Runsignup page at the end of the race.

Awards and Prizes:

We will award overall male and female 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. 

Race Rules and Guidelines:

The goal is to make it back to the starting line before the clock strikes 00:00:00 with each lap getting progressively faster. We start at 13 minutes and work our way to the last finisher. The trail is open to the public, so please be kind to pedestrians. Keep your pets at home; the trail can get crowded. Your bib must be visible at all times. Be mindful at the crosswalk; we are not allowed to close roads to traffic, but do have a volunteer out there watching for traffic.

Post-Race Celebration:

The post race celebration will start as soon as the runner crosses the finish line. Runners will cross the finish line to music, light snacks and refreshments

Spectator Information:

This is an amazing spectator race because the runners will always be coming back to the starting line. So you can see your runner at the Start, ¼ mile, ¾ mile and the finish. All from a spot at the finish line.

Safety Precautions:

We will try to have volunteers at all major turning points and road crossings. Roads will be open, so be mindful of cars. The path is open to the public; be courteous to pedestrians.

Volunteers Needed:

If you volunteer at a race you can get one free entry to a race of your choice that can be used within one year.  We are always in need of volunteers for our races as we literally cannot run them without you!
