They are permitted in the 2 mile run but not in the 15k trail run.  While smooth, the Family Fun Run course is not on asphalt so you may want to use strollers/joggers with wide tires.

Will portable MP3, CD players or i-Pods be allowed on the course?

Sorry but no.  Be one with nature!  Also, because the event is a trail run, taking place partially in the dark, and narrow in parts, we ask that you have your wits and all your senses about you.

Will the race be timed?

The 15k trail run will be timed using the Chronotrack system.  You will receive your D-Tag at Packet Pick-up. Please read the instructions accompanying your D-Tag prior to putting the D-Tag on your shoe. If you D-Tag is not attached appropriately, your results may not be recorded.

The 2 mile Family Fun Run will not be timed.

When/where will I find race results?

Race results will be available by midnight and can be found at www.classicrace.com.

Will there be aid stations?

There will be three stations on the course with water, Gatorade and Gu and medical help.

Is there a time limit?

There is a 2 ½ hour time limit for the 15k trail run.

Do I have to wear my participant bib?
