Participant bib colors will match the start corral colors as shown on the map. Look for colored flags for your start area. Volunteers will direct participants to the correct start area and to the start line.

Runners with elite status will enter the starting area via the 1-mile corral and be escorted to the starting line after the 1-mile race is underway. Runners who did not participate in the 2011 event can email run@akrfw.org with documented race results to petition for access to the elite corral.

Chip timing
Attach the timing chip to your shoe if participating in the 5-mile timed event or no time will be recorded. Keep the chip as a souvenir or drop it in a recycling bucket at the finish line.

Baby Strollers/Joggers/Roller Blades/Pets
Safety and insurance issues require that those participating with a baby stroller or jogger must walk the course. NO RUNNING. Baby strollers and joggers must line up behind all runners at both the 5-mile and 1-mile starts. The baby stroller/jogger is a non-competitive event. For the 5-mile event, all baby strollers/joggers will start in the 5-mile untimed party wave at 9:10 a.m.

No roller blades, wagons or pets allowed.
