Race Day Information --

TIME: Registration starts at 0730 and closes at 0815.  Then the race begins at 0830.


LOCATION: SFA Intramural Field (SFA Intramural Fields, E Starr Ave, Nacogdoches, TX 75964 (Across from Student Recreation Center)


ROUTE: Through and around the beautiful SFA Campus (https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/4290355834). The route will take you on paved roads, sidewalks, and through an unpaved hiking trail. The hiking trail is accessible to leisure bicycles and jogging strollers, but may present difficulties for strollers intended only for paved surfaces.

 

- Registration and packet pick-up will be by the access path to the SFA Intramural Field (SFA Intramural Fields, E Starr Ave, Nacogdoches, TX 75964) -- Look for our tent and tables on the Intramural Fields, near the entrance to the parking lot. To pick up your packet, you will either need an ID, or the race registration email on your phone.

- Registration and packet pick-up opens at 0730. Opening remarks will be delivered at 0820 by Department of Military Science Department Chair James Vance, and the race will begin at 0830. There will be one mass-start for all participants; we encourage our fun-runners and walkers to allow the competitive runners to move to the front of the starting line.

- The race route will run around and through the SFA campus, and will be marked and manned with volunteers. The route is on paved surfaces, although transitions across unimproved paths.

- Free parking is available in the parking lot directly across from the Intramural Fields (SFA Intramural Fields, E Starr Ave, Nacogdoches, TX 75964). Additional parking is available in the parking garage, which is also free during the weekend.

- Secure your valuables in your vehicle, or at home. We will not have the ability to secure valuables or check bags at the start point; because parking is a very short walk from the start point, we encourage all participants to leave high value times at home, and store their personal effects in their vehicles, or leave them with family or trusted friends.

- Restroom facilities are available by the intramural field. 

- Photos & Results: Action photos will be posted on the SFASU Army ROTC Facebook Event Page by Monday after the event. It takes some time to tag all of the photos, so please be patient. A link to the results will be posted the night of the event on the event page, found here: https://www.facebook.com/SFASUROTC/. As this is a memorial fun-run, results will be tracked through photo-finishes; there will be no chipped timing system in effect during this race.

We look forward to seeing you all! Don't hesitate to send any additional questions or requests for information to the race coordinator at: [email protected].
