Race Start:
There is ONE start time at 8am for ALL 5k runners and walkers. For the safetly of all participants we ask that the fastest runners line up in front and slower runners and walkers line up behind then. We will have corral signs to help get everyone started in the right area. Please be aware of the signs so the flow of runners makes it enjoyable for all. Those with strollers should line up towards the back. You may line up in any corral that matches your pace. Keep in mind that your timing chip will activate when you "cross" the startline so don't worry about starting later. Your timing will be accurate. Please be sure to run "under the blow up arch" and not around it to ensusre proper chip activation.
Chip Timing: Timing will be proviced by premier company: Itz About Time: Results will be posted after the race on site approx 10:30am in the race area. Official online results wlll be posted no later then 3pm same day. Timing STARTS when you cross the start line and you MUST cross under the arch and over the timing mats so if you're further back in the pack do not have to worry about losing any time. Do not go around the arch or your time may not register properly
Awards: Top three men and women in the 5k race will receive awards starting at 8:45am. If you aren't present to pick up your award, you can have someone you know collect it for you. You can also arrange to pay for shipping and we'll send it to you within the US.

Awards for top 3 men and women only will be awarded for the 1 mile race begin at 10am. Age division awards will only be awarded in the 5k race.
Kids races: We have many divisions to match the age and distance of all kids! If the distance is too long or short for the age division your child is in, then they can run in a different age group. This is a fun run and no timing is involved other then having a FUN time! We have some older kids run shorter distances and some younger toddlers choose longer distances. We ask that only 1 parent if necessary join their participant in the race. The parent will not get a bib, shirt, medal or pie unless they register.
Course Officials: Course Officials on bikes will monitor the route to ensure social distancing is being practiced. Flag them down for assistance. Our goal is to give you a safe and fantastic race experiece!
Water Station: A water station will be available at the half way point on the 5k course and the finish line. You may bring and carry your own water for a safer experience. The course is an out and back loop. It starts and ends in the same location.
Runner Etiquette: Please follow the course and remember to stay on the "right" side of the road, to accomodate the two way traffic of runners. If you need to stop suddenly then it's nice to let the others behind you know by raising your right arm straight up in the air. It's also safer for you to make your way to the right edge of the course or outside lane so others have a chance to go around you rather then run into you. It will be easier to start back on the course safely again too when you're ready.
Packet Pick up: We encourage everyone to attend Packet Pick up the day before the race to get race bibs, shirts and parking passes. We allow others to pick up on your behalf with your confirmatiom code. If you can't make it Wed, then please show up early on race day to avoid lines.
