- Staggered start with chip-timing. To reduce congestion at the start line, the race director may implement a staggered start to the race. During registration, participants will be asked to indicate whether they expect to complete the race in less than or more than 30 minutes. The race organizers will then assign participants either “wave 1 or wave 2” which will be staggered by about 5 minutes. As the race is chip-timed, this will not impact anyone’s final result. As an additional measure to reduce congestion along the narrow sections of trail, anyone with strollers or dogs must walk the race and will be asked to start at the end of the second wave.
Awards
Prizes will be offered to the top three finishers in each age category for male, female, and nonbinary runners.
