RACE DETAILS:
5K RUN or WALK PARTICIPANTS:
The start line for the road race is at the Corbett Community Hall in Corbett, NY. Buses will be used to transport participants to the start line from the registration and parking area at the American Legion Post 167. Participants must arrive 15 minutes before their bus time in order to be transported to the start of the race. There will be a bus at 8:40am for the walkers and at 9:00 am for the 5K runners. We cannot guarantee you will make the start of the race if you miss the bus transport. We recommend you arrive in time to check-in and then to get on the shuttle.
The course will be officially timed. Runners will follow appropriate 5K signs to complete their race. The 5K will finish on Bridge Street near the Covered Bridge. Police, safety cones and signs will be alerting motorists to the race area. Color powder areas are located every 0.5 miles along the 5K portion of the course.
The color powder shows up best on both white and dark colored clothing. We do recommend not wearing anything you don't mind being stained as we've had mixed results getting it completely out of clothing. Don't worry, we are health freaks and the colors used are non-toxic and washable.
Strollers are welcome. Children in strollers are FREE and do not need to register for the race.
Young children not registered for the race must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
