Wave starts:
We will have three separate waves for the race this year. We will not assign waves ahead of time, so the waves will be self-seeded. We ask that anyone planning on running 29:00 or faster, line up in Wave 1. Anyone planning on running 29:01 or slower, please line up in Wave 2. Anyone planning on walking, please line up in Wave 3.
Participants planning on starting with Wave 2 or 3 will line up behind the Wave 2/3 signs. After Wave 1 starts, Wave 2 will be walked to the start line and runners in Wave 2 will start at 9:05. Wave 3 will be walked to the start at 9:08.
Remember, the race is chip timed, so your official time will not start until you cross the start line.
A certified 5K course complete with aid stations along the route.
Water, fruit, and other food will be provided to all participants following the run.
Awards for top three overall will be presented at around 10:15. Age Group awards will be available for pick up after that time.
