RACE COURSE
Flat & Fast & 2 to choose from...both courses start at the same starting line and 1/4m into the race the courses split. You can go right to take in the "water" course or go straight to take in the "woods/off-road out & back" course. The courses come back together at 2.6 miles for a dash to the finish. Very unique and the only event in DE that does this to my knowledge.
RACE TIMING
Timing will be done by the Seashore Strider Event Production team and will be using the Chronotrack B Chip system.
RACE AMENITIES
Finish line produced by “Seashore Strider Event Production, Inc.,” Post-Race awards ceremony within 20 minutes following the final finisher, custom t-shirts, custom awards, and the best post-race refreshment spread on Delmarva.
AWARDS
Awards will be presented to the Overall Male & Female Champions, Overall Male & Female Masters (40+ yrs.), as well as the top three (3) Male & Female finishers in the following 10-year age categories: 9 & under, 10-13, 14-19, 20-29, then 10-year age groups through 70+. Awards will be presented within 20 minutes following the final runner crossing the finish.
REFUNDS/DEFERRAL
The Seashore Striders have a "No Refund" policy, however we make every possible attempt to please our client with the following options: 1. Transfer to a future Seashore Strider owned event of equal value before the end of the current year. 2.
