High School: 5 Dollar 5K

This race is scheduled to be held with many safety precautions in place to comply with state and local regulations and to prevent the spread of coronavirus.:

• All participants and volunteers are expected to strictly adhere to social distancing rules, keeping at least 10 feet of distance from other people other than members of their family unit.
• Masks should be worn when not running if you are unable to maintain at least 10 feet of distance before or after your race.

Please adhere to these event rules.

• Registration will be capped at 50 people, with two waves of 25 runners that will be kept separate at the event.

• There will be no on-site registration for the race. You must pre-register at least 24 hours in advance of the race.
• We will implement a rolling chip-timed start.  Each participant will be assigned a start time.  Start times will be seeded with faster runners starting first.  You will be asked to submit an estimated time when you register.
• The first wave will start at 6:30pm and the second wave will start at 6:45pm.  Both waves will have staggered starts with 15 seconds between each runner at the start.
• Participants are asked to arrive at the starting line area no more than 5 minutes before their assigned start time and to keep a distance of at least 10 feet between each person prior to the race start.
• Participants will retrieve their pre-assigned bib number using a no-contact system at a location to be determined. More information will be announced prior to race day.
• Bibs will be available at least 30 minutes prior to the race start.
• Participants are asked to stay on the right edge of the greenway when running except when passing and to allow plenty of space when overtaking others or for oncoming runners.
• Participants must bring their own water/sports drink. There will be no race provided drinks.
• Results will be posted online only - no kiosk or printed results.
• Participants are not allowed within 10 feet of timing trailer or any other race volunteers.
