Wave Start Times
In order to keep the race course thin, providing everyone with plenty of time to finish, and to allow participants to get an early start; we will have three start times available.
The official start time for the event will be 6:30 AM, with additional waves at 6:00 AM & 5:30 AM.
Because of the extended time for traffic control, there will be a $5.00 fee for each additional 30 minutes you register for before the official start at 6:30 AM.
Anyone registering for the 5:30 or 6:00 am waves MUST pick up their bib and swag at Early Packet Pickup the day before the race.
The earlier waves will also be limited in size to 50 participants each.
Awards & Goodies
Register by August 15 to guarantee your shirt & size!
All participants will receive a custom Finisher Medal!

- Top 3 Overall M/F
- Top 3 Master M/F
- Top 3 Overall Grand Master (50+)
- Top 3 Overall Sr. Grand Master (60+)

Timing:
- Chip timed Start & Finish
- Chip timed split every mile
- Mile splits are displayed on timing clocks as you pass by the mile point...helping you keep on pace.
Entertainment
- We realize that it might get a little repetitive running a 1 mile loop...so we'll have music & entertainment along the course to keep you going and motivated!
Course Cut Off
- Because of the nature of the event, the course will close at 10:30 am (4 hour race time).
Notes when running:
1. Run the tangents...that means always run the shortest possible route.
2. If you want to walk or run slower, no problem...we just need you to run on the right so the faster participants can get through on the shortest path.
3. Remember...it's a one mile loop, with the .1 or .2 going from the lap count to the finish.
Aid StationsMake sure you have plenty of hydration to keep you going on your run! We will have water, a gatorade-type drink & bananas.
2 stations along the course (every 1/2 mile)
- 1 station with cups of water along with bananas.
