At 5:05 we ask anyone that is not finished to move to the far right section of the road or onto the sidewalk as the police will start clearing the road to make room for the parade. We will have a person with a stopwatch and a clipboard to make sure we record your time.

Water Stop

We will have water available just past the 1st mile when you run by the bank.

Bibs

Race numbers need to be displayed on the front of your garments. We will be chip timing the race, the numbers serve as a visual backup.
