RACE STARTS
Plan to be in the start corral area and ready to run by no later than 7:45 AM. Self-seeding, placing yourself in the start area by your predicted pacer per mile, will ensure that all runners can confidently begin their race. Any final announcements and our National Anthem will be presented.
It will require approximately 3 minutes for all 5K and 7 minutes for all 10 Mile runners to be able to cross the start area and be on their way.
The timing areas will have a hard close at 8:07 AM 5K, and 8:10 AM to the 10M for start data capture. Any runners who do not cross the start mat by then will not be able to receive a finish time for their race.
CUT OFFS
Race distance course cutoff for the 10 miles is roughly based on a 15 minute per mile pace. This roughly equates to a 2 hour 30 minute 10 miler.
