🏃 Runner Instructions

• 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

• Arrive early: Allow time for parking and walking to the start.
• 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.

🏅 10K Participants

If you decide to change to the 5K, please do so prior to the start of the race. You can email terri@prrunandwalk.com to make the distance change (ideally), make the change when you pick up your packet, or let the timers know prior to the race.

Timing Chips (ChronoTrack B-Tag):

• Wear your bib: on the front of your torso
• Don’t 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
