In addition, the chip must be returned at the end of the race, or you will be charged the replacement fee.  Official race times will be posted within 24 hours of the end of the race. This course will be closing on a 18 minute mile pace. If you cannot keep this pace, we ask that you follow trail etiquette until you reach the finish area.
Start Line/Corrals: We ask that you “self-seed” at the start line, meaning that faster people start in the front and slower runners/walkers start in the back of the pack.
Course Time Limit: There is a time limit of 1 hour and 15 minutes for completion of the race. The course will be monitored at a 20 min per mile pace, the water stop and course volunteer spots will be shut down based on this pace. The finish line will close down at 10:15 a.m.
