• Start Time & Timing: To receive an official time for the 5K or 10K, you must start by 8:30 AM. The start line will remain open for only 5 minutes after the official gun start. Runners who start late will not receive an official time.
• Important: If you arrive late, do not enter the finish line area unless you have completed your full race.

Race Day Arrival Tips

• Arrival: Arrive early to allow time for parking and walking to the start.
• Bib Pickup: Picking up your bib on race day? Arrive at least 30 minutes early.
• Finish Line Etiquette: Keep moving through the finish chute—don’t stop or wait inside for friends/family. This helps avoid congestion and keeps everyone safe.

Timing Chips

Chips are attached to the back of your bib. To ensure accurate timing:

• Wear: Your bib on the front of your torso
• Do Not: Fold, wrinkle, or modify your bib
• Pin: It in all four corners
• Keep: It visible (no jackets or belts covering it)
• Wear: The correct bib assigned to you
