Harrier Showdown

Thank you for choosing the Johnstown Harrier Showdown!

This year’s invitational will again be held at the Johnstown Community Sportsman’s Club located at 7357 Sportsman’s Club Rd., Johnstown, OH 43031.  The course is a three loop, grass course over slightly rolling terrain.  All parts of the race are visible and accessible to spectators, which makes for an exciting race environment.

Elementary team and individual entries will be done at Runsignup this year.  Coaches will need to enter information for all of their elementary team members.  The individual price for elementary runners who are on a registered team is $3 instead of normal $5 (plus the processing fee).

Spectators will be charged $3 per adult and $1 per student for admission.  Parking is across the street from the venue.

We will be using timing chips for this event.  Please help your runners return them when the race is complete.  The chip should be tied to their right foot and NOT tucked into their shoe.  We will also use tear tags as a backup to our timing system.
