About this race
Corral Start by Pace: Both races will start together. The fastest corral will begin at 8:30am. If your pace is less than a 9min/mile, you will start at 8:30am sharp regardless of being in the 8k or the 5k. The last corral will start before 8:45am. If you are walking, you will start in the last corral regardless of being in the 8k or the 5k.
8k Course Cutoff: The 8k course will close at Mile 2.5 at 9:35am. If you do not clear Mile 2.5 before 9:35am you will head to the finish line on the 5k course and we will move you to the 5k event for your results.
Families and Friends: If you'd like to start together, your corral will be based on the greatest estimated finish time. When registering, enter the maximum finish time of your group when registering. You can edit your corral until packet pick-up by signing into RunSignUp and going to My Registrations. You can also contact us for help.
