Q: I am interested in doing this honor run but I’m mostly a walker. Is walking allowed?
A: Absolutely! Many walkers participate in our races. As long as you are enjoying yourself and unfazed by the limits of time, you can run, walk, or even crawl to the finish.
Q: How should I dress for the race? Is there anything I should consider bringing?
A: We recommend you dress in layers, so you can add or remove clothing as the temperature changes. Tech fabric is the best choice for better wicking, whereas cotton tends to soak up sweat and stay wet. When it is wet or rainy, a rain jacket is a great idea since it will preserve body heat, as well as block wind and rain. On a cold day it would be a good idea to wear a beanie (wool or tech fabric are both good choices) and gloves. Some people carry their cell (protected by a zip lock bag or a dry bag) as an extra precaution.
If you are a part of a team, or are a solo runner/walker planning to take breaks, then you should bring a chair or blanket to rest in/on. If you have canopy/tent that you want to set up, you are welcome to do so.
Q: Where can I expect aid stations on the course?
A: With the course being a 0.8 mile loop, there will be 1 aid station at the start of the loop. Each time you pass, water and electrolytes will be available. There will also be a nurse and medical supplies.
We provide a lunch half-way through the race, but if you typically use energy gels or bars during a race or other snacks, you should bring those with you.
There is a large pavilion nearby where you can keep any gear as well as where lunch will be served.
Q: Is there anything I should bring for after the race?
A: We recommend bringing a set of dry clothes, extra shoes and socks so you can change out of damp attire and keep warm.
Q: What if I run into other users on the course?
A: The course will be open to other users during the event. Please be courteous. Where the course is narrow, please let other participants pass you if they want to get by. It is a passing runner’s job to tell the person in front that they wish to pass.
Q: Can spectators watch the race?
A: Absolutely! A loop race is the perfect opportunity for friends and family to come and root you on! There is also a nice & new playground where kids can have fun as well!
Q: Will there be a photographer on the course? Where can I access the pictures after the race?
A: More Info Coming Soon
Q: What is your cancellation policy?
A: Hosting a running event is an expensive and risky endeavor. All race costs are paid for well in advance of race day, so there is no financial gain to be made if a person does not show up on race day. We want all of our registered runners/walkers/ruckers to show up, run, and have fun. We do understand that injuries, conflicts, emergencies, deaths, and other unfortunate events happen and may impact your plans for participation. During your registration you have an opportunity to add on a cancelation policy through RegShield which will reimburse your registration fees should any of these unfortunate things happen.
We do not cancel races due to rain or heat. If a race location is changed, but still hosted on the same day, we will automatically transfer the registration over to the new venue, or entrants may choose to run the race remotely and we will mail awards. If a race is postponed all entrants will be transferred to the new date.
