5K Course Directions
Teams
The initial member registering for the race will be able to create their team during registration. Additional members will then select their team from the team drop-down. Each team member’s race result will indicate their team name, so you do not need to qualify for team results to be recognized as a team. To compete, you must have at least five members. A team qualifies for group results when it has at least five members with valid race results. That team’s top five qualifying members are used to compute the team’s overall placement.
Medical
A first aid kit will be available at the start and finish for minor incidents. If you or someone you are observing needs medical assistance, please notify a race crew member. If you believe you or someone else may be experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911 immediately.
