How are awards decided?

Awards are decided by gun-time, NOT chip time.  Racewire, our professional timing service, does this for all runners.  Gun time is the only time that matters in running events, chip time is a luxury to those who are looking for personal bests but may get stuck at the back of the pack.  If you think you are in contention for an overall or age group award, try to get yourself closer to the starting line.

Can I run with a stroller?

We are a family friendly race and love moms and dads who run with their children.  So, yes you can.  However, please be considerate of the other racers around you considering you are pushing your child’s chariot.  Preferably, we would like the strollers to be towards the back of the pack.
