5k (walk, run, or roll) start time is 12:00pm. Check-in starts at 10:00 am.

Start/Finish will be in the Dillingham City Schools parking lot, by the Dillingham Elementary School. Course is an Out and Back type. The two roads in downtown, Seward and D Street, have sidewalks on only one side of the road. The Seward Street sidewalk is on it's west side, and the D Street sidewalk is on it's north side. Walkers and runners use the sidewalks both outbound (moving with traffic) and inbound (moving facing traffic). Rollers use the road shoulders moving with traffic.

Course turns right onto Seward Street from the parking lot, and past the Dillingham Middle School/High School, Bristol Bay Campus, and Dillingham Public Library. At the Stop sign, course turns right onto D Street, then past the Dillingham Public Library and Department of Public Safety, to Kanakanak Road. Course crosses Kanakanak Road at the Stop sign (Firehall is on the left) to the Kanakanak Road Multi-Use Path (MUP). On the MUP, participants move on the right side of the yellow line in the direction of travel, then turn left around the turnaround cone just past the Wood River Road intersection. Course continues back to downtown, crossing Kanakanak Road onto D Street from the MUP, then turning left onto Seward Street. From Seward Street, course turns left into parking lot.

10k (walk, run, or roll) start time is 12:00pm. Check-in starts at 10:00 am.

Timeline

May

1. Contact Dillingham Police Department (DPD), 842-5354, for assistance with alerting motor vehicle operators of participants crossing Kanakanak Road at D Street intersection. Even though it’s a signed pedestrian crosswalk, the pavement is not marked. The speed limit is 25mph, but some drivers speed. Stay in touch with them through event day.
2. Contact Dillingham City Schools for permission to use their parking lot for the start and finish, and to use the elementary school as an indoor venue for the potluck if required. Determine rental fee if applicable.

June

1. Copy Race Roster event, rename, and update with changes. Target live registration is 07/01, but can be live months prior to this. Update notification messages that will be sent once registration closes. Update volunteer data as needed.
2. Advertise electronically and repeat to event day.
3. SAFE staff updates SAFE’s website.

July

1. Contact potluck sponsors-see their usual donations in the Tony’s Run stuff on SAFE’s equipment.
2. Update volunteer duties and print 5 copies for clipboards in totes.

August-continue all above

September

09/01

1. Reserve SAFE tables for course (1 each at the two turn arounds and 2 at the start/finish line, total of 4) and additional tables for potluck.

09/10

1. Pick up totes and small cones from SAFE.

Day before Event

1. Pick up tables from SAFE. If tables are not outside under stairs, staff will need to open the SISTR Room outside door.
2. When registration closes, export participant list (to Excel, as one option), then modify spreadsheet to be used at start/finish line. Recommended to differentiate between 5k and 10k participants, for easier check-in. Print 5 copies of this and put in clipboards in totes. Write participant information on their bib numbers and bike tags. Can add their assigned numbers to race roster. Put numbers in Ziploc bags according to mode and course, and put in start/finish tote.

Event Day

1. At 9am, set up start/finish line and course with totes, tables, small cones, pennant flags, chalked turnaround arrows and marked start/finish line (recommend spray paint).
2. At 10am, check in participants. Record times of finish. Close course after last participant finishes. Enjoy the potluck. Bring everything back to SAFE and put everything but tables in room 109 in entryway (easy to get to and shelter advocate can open outside door). Tables can go under SISTR room stairs or into SISTR room depending on if staff can unlock that outside door.

Day after Event

1. Calculate run times in Excel spreadsheet (see prior year) or add formula to current spreadsheet to calculate. Enter data into Tony’s Run database. Query and add data to SAFE’s website. Save pictures to SAFE’s equipment, edit them, and add to SAFE’s website.
