Staggered Start

We will be staggering the start times of runners and walkers based on your 5K pace. To do so, we ask you to spread out along the road leading up to the Start Line Arch. Volunteers and signage will be there to assist you.

  • Runners, head toward the starting line and look for your pace location.
  • If you are walking, please wait back and allow runners to head out first.
  • If you have a stroller, we ask you to walk toward the back.

We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in making this a fun and enjoyable experience for all participants.
