Race Numbers
This year's race will be a chip time race. Your race chip is your race number. You are required to display your race number at all times while competing. This is for safety, fairness, and to make sure that the timers record your splits accurately.
During the run, your race number must be worn on the front of your body. This is especially important for the finish.
Post-Race
Following the race, the awards ceremony will begin as soon as the results are posted (estimated for 10:30 a.m.). After the awards ceremony, the Lafarge Spring Fling will start. Exhibitors/Vendors will be around the finish line promoting their business. Please take time to visit with each of these businesses and see what they have to offer. Lafarge will have its mining equipment out and this is a great opportunity for all to learn about the quarry! At the same time, we will have a moonwalk for the kids, plus music and food.
Race Shirt
Participants who pre-registered will receive a technical race shirt at the end of the race. T-shirt size exchanges will not be allowed until after all participants have received a shirt. All participants will receive the shirt size they selected during registration.
Inclement Weather
The event will not be cancelled for any reason other than severe conditions that pose extreme danger to athletes and volunteers.
We will have public restrooms at both Northside Hospital and Lafarge and will have off-duty deputies on site to help with traffic control.
