TIMING
Synergy Race Timing is the official timing company for Race to the End of Summer, and will use an electronic timing chip system. The chip will be provided at Packet Pick Up with your bib. The chip will be worn around you ankle with the Velcro strap. THE TIMING CHIP NEEDS TO BE RETUNRED AT THE END OF THE RACE. At the finish line there will be volunteers who will assist in removing the chip. If you do not return your chip you will be charged a $35 fee to replace the chip. The timing chips help us to ensure the accuracy of timing the event and make results available much more quickly than other timing procedures. The reusable chips as opposed to disposable ones help us to keep this event eco-friendly.
WATER STATIONS
Water stations will be provided on the course and at the start and finish area. Please view the course map for location of water stops.
PARKING
Free parking will be available at the Silver Creek Sports Plex. Please park in designated areas only. Volunteers will be on hand to direct cars to designated areas. Parking will be limited. We recommend carpooling, public transportation, riding a bike, getting dropped off, or using other forms of transportation.
MEDICAL AID
Medical Aid will be available at the Start/Finish area. Should medical assistance be needed along the course, volunteers will be able to contact the race directors to attain medical aid.
ANIMALS/DOGS
We like all animals, however due to safety regulations, there are no animals allowed on the course.
STROLLERS
We love your kids, however due to safety regulations, we strongly discourage the use of strollers on the course. The trail will be used in both directions, as well as open to the general public. If you must bring your child along, please make sure to stay in the back, regardless of your pace to insure the safety of all participants.
WEATHER/CLOTHING Please be sure to check the weather leading up to race day. Be prepared for warm or cold weather. And bring clothing for the post race festival.
