Wave Start: In order to maintain a comfortable and safe race experience for all participants, the Ten-Miler will be using a wave start. Bib numbers will be issued based on expected finish time and will correspond to the 'wave' you will start in. There will be 4 waves assigned by expected finish time. We ask that all participants adhere to this policy and start with their assigned wave. Please keep in mind that with the B-Tag system, your time will not start until you cross the startline.
THE AMENTIES- The Entry Fee will provide each runner with access to the following:
- Each registered runner will receive a high quality premium with the event logo. This race has become known for providing a top notch race premium and we will not disappoint in 2012,
- On the course, runners will be serviced by four water and Gatorade stops complete with fruit and other snacks.
- Following the race, runners will have access to post race snacks, bottled water, cold wash clothes & Watermelon and other fruit
- Each finisher will receive complementary beer
- The post race party will include live music.
TIMING- The event will be chip timed and run on a USATF certified 10-mile course. The event will use the disposable ChronTrack B-TAG timing system that is built into your bib.
Tips to have your time accurately recorded:
- Race bib is clearly visible on the front of the torso
- Race bib is unaltered and unmodified (Do not fold or wrinkle)
- Race bib is pinned in all four corners
- Race bib is not covered (jackets, runner belts, water bottles, etc.)
PACKET PICK UP- Runners may pick up their timing chip and bib number prior to race day at local running stores. Locations and times will be announced soon. We encourage as many runners as possible to pick up their chips and bibs prior to race day.
We will also hold packet pickup on Friday June 15th at the Maryland Zoo. This will take place in the grassy area to the left of the zoo's ticket counters. You may park in any available parking spot when you arrive but ask that you not block any roadways or pedestrian walkways.
In addition we will have packet pick up on race day from 5:30am to 7am in the same location. DO NOT BE LATE as we will not be able to extend this timeline. If you do plan to pick up your packet on race morning be sure to allot enough time to account for driving and parking. Remember over 6,000 cars will be heading to the same spot in the same timeframe so plan accordingly!
