RACE-DAY INFORMATION
ROAD RACE/CROSS COUNTRY RACE INFO
All road and cross country races will run 1 race and will start right at 9AM.
Please turn in your finishing cards at the registration before you leave. We will not be able to record your results unless these cards are turned in AND remember your bib there is a $2 charge for replacements.
TRACK RACE INFO
Listed below are the estimated start times for the heats. START TIMES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. We will be running each heat once the previous one finishes so they may start earlier or later. Please arrive early to sign up for your heat and be ready in case heats 2-6 start earlier than listed.
Heat 1 – 9:00 a.m. (Faster than 10:46)
Heat 2 – 9:15 a.m. (10:46 – 12:05)
Heat 3 – 9:35 a.m. (12:06 – 13:15)
Heat 4 – 10:05 a.m. (13:16 – 15:15)
Heat 5 – 10:20 a.m. (15:16 – up)
Heat 6 – 10:45 a.m. (SPECIAL EVENT ELIMINATION 2-MILE RACE)
Please note, our heats are designed to prevent too much lapping. If you are lapped more than twice in heats 1-5 you will not receive a time.
RACE LOCATION
All in-person races are at Magnuson Park. The Magnuson Park races all begin near the beach comfort station and bathroom building on the Waterfront Promenade. Enter the park on NE 65th Street and turn onto Lakeshore Drive at the stop sign. Follow Lakeshore Drive to the beach area. Remember that — on road race days — the angle parking along Lakeshore Drive is blocked for the route, so parking really close to the start fills up fast!

RACES: RULES
Come early enough to check in and get your bib, or to register if you need to!
Pin your bib on the FRONT CENTER and OUTSIDE of whatever you are wearing. We need to see it as your cross the finish line!
Line up when we call for the start, with faster runners at the front of the start area and slower competitors at the back.
Run the prescribed course. The road course is a simple loop done twice. The cross country course is also two loops -- it is a bit more complicated, but always well marked with plenty of small white, orange, and blue flags, and orange traffic cones. The track "course"... well, we have yet to lose anyone on the track "course!" (Please don't try!)
Note your time on the clock as you pass the finish line at all races.
Follow the directions of the chute personnel as to your finish order in close finishes. Run ALL THE WAY THROUGH the finish line and the chute which follows, stay in order in the flagged chute, and move as fast as possible to the end of the chute to get your finish card.
At the end of the chute, you will get a FINISH CARD. Take the place card to the announced location (at Magnuson, it is generally the breezeway between the sections of the beach comfort station). FILL OUT the card as completely as possible. If you indicate a time, it should be from the clock, not from your personal timer, Bob! All times indicated in the results are gun times, not chip!
Final results will be done and posted to the web site within a few days. Please inform us of anything which seems incorrect or confusing. One of the big problems is getting youth into the correct division — please look at that after the first race you compete in and make sure it is right!
