The Race |
10K – 9:30am Starts on Old Eckert Rd. (closed portion along greenbelt north of Barber Park). We will congregate inside Barber Park then walk to the start line at 9:20.10K Map
5K – 9:50am Starts on Chavez Ln near Caven Williams fieldhouse. 5K Map
The course may possibly be part dirt. A construction project which was to have been done in September was pushed to the past 10 days. It was to be completed before B2B, but the rain has delayed them.
There are two scenarios:
The existing greenbelt in Julia Davis will be pulverized to gravel and compacted before the race and we will be good and have some nice dirt surface to run on.
The path is rendered useless and we will adjust slightly.
Announcements will be made at the start line if the course will be different.
The changes:
You will still follow the greenbelt to Ann Morrison and cross the bridge.
You will return towards Julia Davis
At the Ann Frank Memorial you will go left, continuing left onto the old rail bridge.
You will turn left back on to the greenbelt and proceed to the stadium.
If this does become the course, we ask that all walkers pinch down to one lane (there will be cones) at the 8th Street Bridge underpass to make room for the lead runners.
NO DOGS ALLOWED - due to BSU stadium policy, no dogs (other than service dogs) are allowed inside fo the stadium.
Due to Central District Health regulations, no dogs are allowed in the breakfast area.
STROLLERS - strollers are allowed, but are asked to start in the back as to not create an obstacle. Please be aware that your stroller may not fit through the finish chute after you cross the line. Volunteers will help you.
Please help us in the finish chute. When you are approaching the end, either remove your chip or be prepared to present your foot to a volunteer so it can be quickly removed and we can keep traffic moving.

Last shuttle will leave BSU at 9:00am.

10k Start Waves |
10k start was broken into 4 waves based on estimated finish time:
A = 27:00min - 50:59
B = 51:00min - 60:59 (or until full)
C = 61:00-73:59
D = 74:00+
Your bib and timing tag are issued and programmed based on your start wave. If you are assigned to B wave and move to A wave, your official time will be 2min slower.
PLEASE stay in your assigned wave. All age group awards are determined by time.
To win top 3 overall awards, you must have been assigned to A wave.
At the finish, for your purposes subtract the following amount of time from the finish clock:
A = 0

Your official time will reflect the start time programmed for the start wave you were assigned to. |
