Community Feel
Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line.
Race Day Notes
- Staff: Because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race.
- EMS: EMS is not stationed on site.
- Water Stations: Water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish.
- Preparation: Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help.
