Race date is  July 4th, 2024! Join us for this TRADITION 40 years in the making before the big JULY 4th parade. A fun and festive atmosphere unique to our race!   READ THROUGH ALL BELOW - IMPORTANT INFORMATION - Please read emails to stay updated or check our page on Runsignup for updates.

 

WHEN: JULY 4th, 2024, 7:30 am RACE START- Gates open at 6:15 am Line up for race will start on the track at 7:10 am for the 7:30 am start time. We will spread out along the track according to corrals (Groups) based on pace for a smoother race experience. Everyone will cross the start in a ROLLING START getting their OWN START TIME (most accurate method of timing). This means (as in the past) a small number of racers (3-4) will cross the pad at once with others close behind. We are making large corrals to help with the flow so there are less participants to pass for a better race experience.

 

Want to run in a group? No Problem! just use the longest finish time of a member of your group for all people in the group when you register. We want you to be together!!!

 

You will need an estimate of the time it will take you to finish the 5K. If unsure just do the best to estimate your time using the link :https://www.active.com/fitness/calculators/pace Running group will be assigned by runsignup when you register and listed in your confirmation email - labels or lists during bib pick up will also be used to find group designation.

Group A runners could be asked to provide a result to qualify for group A. Please have that ready if needed.

Group A will go first then B,C,D, E & lastly F. Runners first and walkers will go in the final groups.

 

Group A   (top runners of this group will seeded & be placed in the front of group A - ) Group B Group C Group D Group E (competitive walkers) Group F (fun Walkers) 

NOTE - We will be designating the top participants in the fastest running group as they will have special placement within group A. We may request info for verification for the top competitors in the A group to be seeded.

OUR PLAN ULTIMATELY IS we are looking to put racers into approximate areas by finish time so that there are fewer passes or jam up with runners. The ideal set up is to roughly start with people going about the same pace lined up at about the same area. This creates a very smooth race and allows ample room.
