Turkey Trot Predict

🏃‍♂️ Race Overview

This is a prediction run with a staggered start format.

⏱️ Predict Your Finish Time

• Registration: When you register, you predict your finish time for the 5K course.
• Countdown Clock: The clock is set to the highest predicted finish time of all the runners and set to count down.
• Staggered Start: As the clock reaches the prediction time of each runner, that runner starts running.
• Finish Together: If everybody predicts their time perfectly, they will finish at the same moment.

🏁 Race Strategy

• Last Runner: Once the last runner starts, i.e., the one with the fastest predicted time, the clock is covered.
• No Clock Visibility: Thus runners cannot see the time on the clock when they are approaching the finish line.
• Unique Strategy: This creates a very unique racing strategy.
• Predicted Correctly: If you find yourself among a mass of runners finishing close to one another at the finish, it means you’ve predicted well.

🚫 Rules and Regulations

• Device Restrictions: Runners are not allowed to wear watches or have iPods, walkmans, etc.
• Clock Details: Note that the clock will be set so that it reads 50 minutes and is counting down at 10:00 AM.
