Course Safety
To ensure everyone's safe enjoyment of these events, please adhere to the following:
no dogs, bicycles, roller skates or unauthorized wheeled vehicles will be permitted
on the 10 Mile course. Baby strollers and joggers are permitted in the 2 Mile
Walk but must begin at the back of the start area, after the majority of participants have crossed the start
line. Start Line Corrals
The 10 Mile Race features a multiple corral start. Seeded Corrals are for participants who run 9:00 mile pace or faster and submit proof of past performance (see details below). The Open Corral is for all paces. All corrals will have pace-per-mile markers to assist participants in positioning themselves.
The intent of the corral start system is to ensure a positive race experience and provide all participants the same opportunity for a quick, smooth and safe start and sufficient room to run along the course.
As a reminder, your official time does not begin until you cross the start line. The timing system provides each participant with an accurate time from the start to finish lines.
