In-Person Event Info

• Each start group has a limit of 100 runners to comply with State Park Covid-19 rules

• Each race will have an interval start to spread runners out for the early K

• Chip timed. 10K times from both events will be combined to determine overall winners and age-group winners.

• Runners are encouraged to carry their own water/drink, but we will have self-serve aid stations where you can grab a paper cup of Water or Gatorade (cups pre-filled, but you grab your own).  For the 18K, we will have a self-serve setup to refill your water bottles at the Brigham aid station (halfway point).

• No after-party or awards ceremony, but we will have a giveaway item (not a t-shirt this year due to the short registration time window) and some door prizes for you.

• Masks required to be worn before and after running; not required on course.

• Maintain social distance on course as much as possible; pass when you need to pass.

• Do your Covid-19 self check in the morning before you come.  If any signs or symptoms, please stay home.

​

Self-Timed Event Info

• The course is real, the crowd of other runners is virtual

• Run anytime from Wednesday, June 2, through Sunday, June 6

• We will post course maps (pdf files) and also GPX files that you can upload to your favorite phone app to stay on course.

• The course markings for the 10K and 18K will be set up Friday evening through Sunday at noon.

• We're working on a plan for you to be able to pick up your swag when you are at the park.  If that fails, we'll get it to you after the event.

• We'll provide instructions for submitting your time and photos for your self-timed run.  Self-timed results are not eligible for overall or age group award rankings, but do count toward your 100K Club total and Savanna Series completion.
