START/FINISH PROCEDURES: This year, all races will be chip timed FROM BEGINNING TO END. PLEASE NOTE that regardless of where you start in the lineup, your time will be recorded against EVERY runner who is participating in that particular race.
As always, we will start each race separately according to time. See below schedule. Each race will be laid out to promote social distancing, and each runner/walker is asked to stand on a X prior to the start of the event, maintaining a 6 foot distance between runners/walkers.
Each runner will position themselves on a marked “X” on the pavement in the start area. Participants are discouraged from walking and running in groups.
Half Marathon: 7 a.m.
5K Run: 7:30 a.m.
IMPORTANT WATER STOP INFORMATION: We will only have water stops every OTHER mile this year (Miles 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11). Participants must bring their OWN water bottles (no cups will be provided at the stops) and can fill up their bottles at the station water coolers. You must hand sanitize before you fill your water bottle. Volunteers will be on hand to periodically sanitize the water coolers as well. We will provide hand sanitizing stations at the start/finish area and at each of the 3 water stops.
AWARDS - POST RACE:
There will be an awards tent for you to pick up your award following your race. If you have won an award, you will automatically receive a text message on your phone soon after completion. You may bring your phone with the text confirmation to the awards table, and we will present your award to yo upon confirmation. If you cannot stay to pick up your award, we will be happy to mail it to you.
Finisher medals for Half participants will also be available at the awards tent.
Once participants cross the finish line, they will move off course. Participants should put face coverings back on once they have finished their event. Please refrain from physical contact with others and spread out to maintain social distancing following the event.
There will be bottled water post race for participants. Our food vendors will also be available to give pre-packaged containers of food for you (Catfish, pizza, wraps). We encourage participants to Grab and Go as they complete their race and pick up their award.
REGISTRATION AND PACKET PICKUP: NO RACE DAY REGISTRATION WILL BE ALLOWED. All registrations must be done ONLINE prior to midnight on Thursday, October 15. We will allow in –person registrations on Friday from 1-7 p.m. at packet pickup.
We will have drive-through packet pickup at the Chamber of Commerce on Friday, October 16 from 1-7 p.m. and also on race morning at the Registration Tent near the start line beginning at 6:30 a.m.
FACE MASKS: Participants are strongly encouraged to wear their masks prior to the start of their race while in the start/finish area. Participants are also strongly encouraged to put their masks back on following their race as they access food and beverages. All volunteers will be wearing face masks and gloves.
HEALTH/SAFETY: For the health and safety of our event participants and volunteers, if you are sick, running a fever or have other symptoms, we ask you to STAY HOME and not participate in the event. If you are in a high-risk group, please consult your physician prior to participating in the event.
