WAVE START
IMPORTANT - To reduce the amount of passing during the first few miles of the race, participants will start in waves based on their average pace per mile. Each wave will consist of both 5 and 10 mile participants.
Wave 1 - 9:30 min per mile and faster
Wave 2 - 9:31 - 11:00 min per mile
Wave 3 - 11:01 min per mile and slower
RUN COURSE
The course is run inside Rockburn Park. The race starts and finishes on the gravel path between the playground and pavilion. The course consists of packed gravel and natural surface trail. A small portion of the course is on paved surface. The 5 Miler is one loop of the course. The 10 Miler is the 5 Miler loop twice.
10 MILE COURSE REQUIREMENT
All runners must reach mile 5 (start 2nd loop) in 1 hour and 40 min. Runners who have not completed this distance by 10:46 am (which requires runners to average approximately 20:00 per mile) will not be permitted to continue on the course.
RELAY TEAMS (2 RUNNERS)
Only one runner from each team is permitted on the run course at any given time.
Runner A will start the race in their assigned wave and complete one loop of the run course.
Runner A will exchange their race bib number (timing chip affixed to back side of bib number) at the 2nd loop bump our area with Runner B. Runner B will complete one loop of the run course into the finish line. At the finish line, runner B will get two finisher medals (one for each teammate). To view the relay exchange area, click HERE.
