| Early Start |
Early starts are available to any runner who wants to do so but
you will not officially be in the competition (overall or age
group). The way it works is to see Pat Onines (Co-Race Director) first on race day. He will add you to the early start list. He will also mark the bottom of your bib # with an “ES”. You may then start whenever you wish and time yourself. You’ll be responsible to know the course especially where the turn around is. When you finish, you’ll get a medal and a “Finished” in the official results with no time. Be sure to let the finish line crew know you were an early starter to avoid any confusion with those being timed. They will take the bottom of your bib # and give it to Pat as evidence of your finish. Please remember that early starters or those that finish after the race time limit will have a “Finished” in the results but will not receive a position or a time. |
