You must be 12 years of age or older and in good health to participate.

If you are part of team, all five team members must cross the finish line TOGETHER to compete for awards!

WAVE START Both individuals and teams will start in separate waves.  Due to the narrowness of the trails in several areas, this will help prevent crowding.  Winning times will be based on Chip time, not GUN time, so it is possible for individual runners in the second wave and teams in the fourth wave to place in the event.

INDIVIDUAL WAVES:
  • Wave 1 will be bibs 1 - 499
  • Wave 2 will be bibs 501 - 999

AWARDS:

Overall winner awards will be given to the top male and female individual finishers in both civilian and military categories. Divisional awards will go three deep in 10 year age groups after 12-15 and 16-19.  Awards will also be given to the top three teams in all categories (open male, open female, mixed, corporate, military, public safety, collegiate and high school). The awards ceremony will be held in Freeman Stadium at 9:30 AM for individuals and 11:30 AM for teams.
