Race details
All three in-person events start and finish at Thomas B. Mack Park and circle Lake Hollingsworth. Because the lake is about 5K, the 10K and 15K require multiple laps. The race uses chip timing for a timed start and finish. Water stations will be available at approximately every 1.5 miles. Participants must finish with at least a 16 min/mile pace.
Awards, volunteers and logistics
Awards will be given to the top three overall male and female finishers, top three in Masters and older age categories, and top three in standard five-year age groups. Virtual participants may run where they choose and submit times by the end of race day; virtual packages are shipped after the event to continental US addresses. Packet pickup is held on race morning, typically starting one hour before the race. Volunteer recruits who meet specified requirements are eligible for a $50 Visa gift card. Registration fees vary by event and registration period. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
