5K runners must complete both laps before crossing the finish line. Finishing after only one lap produces an incomplete-course time that can affect results and awards for fellow competitors who complete the entire 5K.
Anyone who plans to complete only one lap should speak with check-in staff about switching to the 1-Mile event and receiving the appropriate bib before starting.
