Event Description
Are you ready to race again? Well so are we! We are excited to introduce to you "The 5 At Riverside." In these crazy times you have seen many virtual races but this 5 miler and 5K is NOT your typical virtual race ... This is VIRTUALLY REAL!! Each participant will run the SAME course any date between August 15th and September 6th 2020 and will be timed using RaceJoy .
To make this a VIRTUALLY REAL road run we will be using the RaceJoy application that can be easily downloaded for free on your smartphone. RaceJoy will submit your run directly to our results page. Using our timing app that will submit true elapsed times through RaceJoy will allow us to have official run results with Overall and Age Group winners and awards. Participants can run and submit results as many times as they want between August 15th and September 6th. This will allow participants to improve so that their best time will count toward the final results.
The 5 miler course and the 5k course will both start at the stage at Riverside Park in Roswell . The route will head out from the park go under the bridge and continue on the path on Azalea Drive. The 5k will turn around at the entrance to the board walk and the 5 miler will turn on the board walk for one more mile and turn around at the water treatment plant. Both runs are out and back format. There are bathrooms and a water fountain a little after the 1 mile mark. This virtually real race will give you the opportunity to race the familiar courses you train on and you can see how you stack up to the 1000s that run these courses weekly.
*** Race must be ran with the RaceJoy smartphone application to be included in official race results and eligible for awards *** Email with RACEJOY Application Download will be sent to each runner prior to August 15th***
