A Few FAQs

How far is today's race? 3.0 Miles! You will go out 1.5 miles, and then turn around to finish where you started.

How many points are available today? First place will receive a max of 30 points (typically 10 points per mile each week). The minimum points you can receive is 10 for finishing! The difference between each place is the max points (30 today) divided by the amount of participants that show up each week. If there are 30 participants (for easy math), the difference between each place will be 1 point. 1st place = 30, 2nd place = 29, 3rd place = 28, ..., all the way down to 10 points for the last few runners.

What happens when I finish? Grab a tag from the volunteer that will be at the finish line. Your tag will have your overall place written on it. Promptly write down your name on the label (and finish time if you happen to know it). Peel label and place on the finish board in the correct position spot.

Head north towards Eastern Ave, right turn on Eastern Ave down to the stop sign (East Shore), left turn on East Shore to the turn around (just short of Red Fox Run). Turn around at 1.5 miles and go back the way you came! Run on the left side of the road (against traffic) and look out for vehicles!
