your packet in a safe place. You will need to bring this number to all five races.
Race morning, pin it to the front of your shirt with one pin by the "gotta run" slogan at the bottom so it doesn't flap up when you run.
We will have a new scoring system this year. The barcode tab will take place of the white finish line cards. You have five barcodes (one for each race) on your race number. A worker will tear off one barcode tab when you cross the finish line. In order to get credit for the race and to determine the correct finish time, stay in the line until they come to you. Don't tear it off yourself and hand it in.
We've decided to try some afternoon runs this year. Please mark your calendar with the correct race day, place, and time.
Have a light breakfast at least an hour before you run. You do want energy but don't want to overload your system.
Layer your clothing so that if you get hot, you can shed something. Remember, even on a cool day, you will get hot when you run.
Please arrive early enough to find parking, find the start line, then mill about to cheer others on. We will not start one age group without the last one finishing.
Via the PA system, we will call age groups to gather for warming up.
Drinks and snacks are available at the end of the race for the racers only.
Relax and have fun! You are a winner just for running!
