New Procedures
- There will be no in-person registration - all registration must be done in advance, online, using this site. Registration will open 24 hours before the current week's race, and will remain open until the 7 PM start time the following day. Please register only if you are sure you plan to run. You may register on your phone from your car on site, but there will be no physical pen and paper registration at the race. Online registration is free; however runners are asked to place a donation of $5 ($4 for students) in the box during check in. Please bring exact change to avoid handling money.
- Participants must be in good health and symptom free from any illness for at least 2 weeks prior to the event.
- Check in begins at 6 PM on race evening in the West parking lot of the Castle. To check in runners should enter through the gap in the fence and proceed down the chute. Take a bib from the stack in the box, then tell that number to the race volunteer who will enter it in the scoring database, and put your entry fee in the box. Pin the bib on the front of your shirt or shorts. If you are re-using your bib from a previous race (encouraged) enter that number when you register online, or tell the race volunteer during check-in.
- During pre-race instructions, runners should maintain proper social distance.
- If you have to spit during the race or at other times, please take a second beforehand to make sure no one is in the line of fire.
- This year all races will be chip timed to minimize runner-race official contact. Run across the timing mats at the finish, listen for the beep, then continue and leave the immediate area as soon as you are able. Results for most of the races should appear in real time online at Athlinks or ClubCT.org, as well as by text message should you opt in for that when you register.
- Prize T-Shirts will be awarded as possible at the finish, otherwise they may be collected at a subsequent race, or will be mailed.
- There will be no water provided - runners must be self-sufficient and BYO.
