INFORMATION:
CAUTION: 5K running events should only be undertaken by individuals who have been exercising regularly. The BTC and its members are always welcoming to people who want to begin an exercise program but seek doctor’s advice first. When you do come out to enjoy the fun, make sure you are well hydrated and if you notice you are not feeling well, slow down and let someone know. Water stations will be provided on the course, but you may wish to carry additional hydration.

DOGS: Sorry, but as a matter of safety for the animals due to the high summer temperatures and hot dirt and pavement, we are not allowing dogs at the Summer Series races. There will be NO DOGS allowed on the course for any race. There are no additional volunteers to watch your dog while you run and it is unsafe to leave a pet in your vehicle. Thank you for respecting this rule and leaving your pets at home.

SCORING: This is a handicap series. See special note below.

AWARDS: More information to come later.

You must be present to pick up your shirt or assign someone to pick it up for you. Unclaimed shirts will be sold.

SPECIAL NOTE: This is a fun race. Have fun with it. Enjoy the race experience and running with your fellow athletes. This race is set up as an achievement-based competition, but generally EQUALIZED across the various age groups regardless of gender. If you are not a top competitor in your age group, we still encourage you to compete against other runners of similar ability in all the age groups. Please be courteous to all runners on trail with you and enjoy yourself.
