Can I bring my pet?
Due to safety concerns and race size, dogs are not permitted to participate. Please leave your pet at home. Participants who bring their dogs will be asked to leave them in their vehicles.
How are the races timed?
There are three components to timing these races.
- The first component are the people at the finish line punching the buttons on the timing equipment. They punch once for every human heartbeat that crosses between them and the checkered finish flag, so please do not cut in line after crossing the timers (at the checkered flag).
- The second component is the people handing out the finish cards at the end of the finish chute. The numbered cards correspond to a time that punched. Please don’t cut in line.
- The third and most time-consuming component is matching the times with the cards. If the timers punch 600 people, there should be 600 cards given out and turned in.
- An un-timed chute is available if you would prefer to not have your time recorded. Please take a card at the end of the chute, so we can track how many people participate and enter you in the prize drawing.
Why must I stay in line in the finish chute?
If you cross the finish line and then choose to step out of the chute area or don’t take a card, you throw the final timing results off for the other participants. Use the un-timed chute if you'd prefer to not have your time recorded.
What if I spelled my name wrong or wrote it illegibly?
Cards turned in without complete names or are illegible may be listed in the results but will not gain points or be considered as a series top finisher at the Awards Banquet. If you want your name spelled correctly in the results, please print it clearly on your card and include first and last names.
How do you time me and my baby joggers?
Parents carrying a child or pushing a baby jogger are asked to let the timer know, when you approach the finish chute, how many are crossing if all children can not be clearly seen.
Who is eligible for the running shoe drawing?
Our sponsor has generously offered a complimentary pair of running shoes each week.
Any adult or youth who checks in at the check in table before the race is eligible for a free pair of running shoes provided our Healthy Sponsor Skinny Raven Sports. There will be a new drawing each week for those participating in that weeks race. Finish cards are not accumulative.
