Course Information
A 15-minute mile pace or faster is required for the half marathon, 10K, and 5K race distances (approximately four miles per hour, equivalent to a very brisk walk).
If you fall below this pace, the Heritage Haul race organizers cannot guarantee course support, as road closures, water stations, and medical support will begin to become unavailable to participants. The local police and race organizers will ask you to either move up onto the sidewalk or require you to be transported further up on course to catch up to the 15-minute per mile group.
Gear Check – 6:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.
Gear check will be available to all registered participants under the picnic pavilion at Veterans Memorial Park. You will receive a wrist ban, which will serve as your claim check for your gear. The Village of South Holland is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged items.
