There will be an early start for those runners who do not expect to complete the race in less than two hours and fifteen minutes. The spirit of the early start is to allow slower runners to finish with the pack and join in with the post-race festivities.  To participate, sign up at the registration table on race day by 7:10 AM for the 7:30 AM start.  Please note that early starters are not eligible for awards.

There is no packet pickup. On race morning report to the Vestal Senior Center, 201 S. Main Street by 7:30 am to pick up your competition bib number. The race starts and finishes at the Senior Center.
