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.

Updated course will still start at Sheridan and Clark, run north on Sheridan, then go around Long Field, head south on Orrington, and turn around going back the way you came, finishing on the lakefront path.
