Strollers and Dog Division

 

New for 2018!  We will have a separate division for people running with strollers or dogs.  This division will have its own start following the start of the regular 5K.  

Please register for this division if you plan to do so (cost is the same, but it will help us get your time right).  We will give awards to the Overall Male and Female from this division, but you will not be eligible for any age group awards.

 

Bikes, scooters, etc.:

No bikes, scooters, rollerblades or skateboards permitted in either event.

Parking:

Parking in West U is extremely limited. If you can, please plan to walk or ride your bike to the race. If you do drive, make sure to park legally without blocking driveways. The West U police will likely be out ticketing and we would hate for you to have more than sore legs as a souvenir of the race.

Chip Timing:

The 5k race will be chip timed using the ChronoTrack Electronic timing system.

Costume Contest:

There will be a costume contest at 9:15. Awards will be given for costumes in the following categories: Best Female, Best Male, Best Couple and Best Child. 

Photos:

Your Sporting Image will be taking race photographs. Photos may be viewed at www.yoursportingimage.com following the race.
