This is a moderately challenging course, including both hills and downgrades.

ChampionChip Scoring System
Each participant will receive a ChampionChip timing device, matched to runner and bib number, at race packet pickup. This device must be attached to the runner's shoe and each runner is responsible for returning the chip to v

olunteers near the Finish Line immediately following the race. A $35.00 charge will be assessed to the runner if the chip is not returned. Additional details will be provided at Race Packet Pickup. Participants who own a ChampionChip may register their chip number on the entry form.

Rules of Competition
Due to the hour of the race, anyone with dogs or carriages is prohibited from running. We reserve the right to cancel the race due to weather conditions that cause the running surface to be hazardous to the runners' safety.
