Race Instructions 

Please review these race instructions prior to the day of the race. 

Races: 

7 am - 55K Solo and Relay

8 am - 30K
1:30 pm - 1 Mile Fun Run

55K Relay: 

• The relay will start at 7am. Not all members of your team have to arrive at the same time, but we do recommend those running in the first few loops arrive on time. There will be only be one person from your team running at one time for their portion of the relay race. Each person will run a 5K and then hand off their timing belt to the next person who is running for the relay team. We recommend you establish what order you all will be running! 
• We are expanding the relay waiting area (where you exchange your timing belt with your team member) to help ensure adequate space for people to social distance. Please be mindful of others and allow space between runners who are waiting for their leg of the race. 
• Please note: if you do not have a full team of 11 people that is okay, but you might have to double up on how many times you need to run the 5K loop.
• Each relay team will receive one timing belt, which means you must pass it off to the next person to keep track of your team’s time

1-Mile Fun Run:
Runners can register the day of the race for the 1-mile fun run at the registration tent. Registration is $25 shirt included or $10, shirt not included. 

Crossing the Finish Line 

There is a cut off time for the 55K, 30K, and Relay Team races. Participants will not be allowed to start a lap after 2 pm and the course will close at 3 pm no matter where someone is on the route. At 3 pm the finish line, results and course support will close. Only officially registered participants, volunteers, and race officials are allowed on the course. Family members who aren't registered are not allowed to run across the finish line with runners. If you do not have a race number, volunteer t-shirt, or race official race credentials, you will be asked to leave the course.
