Remember to register early, and we welcome all sponsors. Let's get running! Now in its fifth year, our event had a record field of 297 entrants last year. Omar Wiggan set a new course record for the event, finishing first in 16:40. Anna Armfield also set a record for the women with a 20:19 clocking. Once again, the race is part of the Second Empire Grand Prix Series- the 8th race in a fifteen race Series. Runners who participate in these races accumulate points and are awarded prizes at an awards banquet held at the Second Empire Restaurant at the conclusion of the Series.

FAQ:
Is there a early packet pick up? No. Packet and race numbers will be available starting 6:30 am Saturday morning. Can I run with headphones? Yes! Do I need any water? We have a water stop and extra water bottles for runners. We recommend you bring extra water for you and your guests to make sure you are comfortable and hydrated. We have some shade structures as well, but sunscreen is probably a good idea. Can I use a stroller, walker or wheel chair? Yes. The course, however, is not paved. It is graded grass and gravel/dirt with mild elevation changes. We have had runners push strollers in the past. This is up to your judgment. |
