Team Competition

Team competition will be conducted exclusively for active duty personnel in men’s, women’s, and mixed divisions. Teams are to be comprised of battalion elements or smaller and all team members must be assigned to the unit for which they are participating. There is no limit as to the number of runners a team may employ; however, only the top eight finishers will count toward team scoring in the men’s division; the top four finishers will count toward team scoring in the women’s division; and the top eight finishers (at least four of whom must be women) will count toward team scoring in the mixed division. Runners may not compete with more than one team. The average time of a team’s top finishers will be used to determine team place of finish. Team entries, consisting of completed individual entry forms for each team member must be submitted together in one grouping. Team entry is not available online. Individual entry forms for each team member must be submitted together in one grouping to either ITT (through June 2) or Funk PFC on June 3-4 and June 7-10.

Race Packet Pickup

Race packets, which include race number, computer timing chip, race instructions, and sponsor information, must be picked up at Funk PFC located at building C-2015, Gruber Road near Longstreet Road, June 4 and June 7-10, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. On Wednesday only, June 9, hours for race packet pick-up will be extended to 7:00 pm. There will be no race day packet pickup.

Chrono Track Timing

The ChronoTrack Timing System requires that you attach a timing tag to your shoes through shoelaces. By using a high-frequency identification, the system captures runner data through antennas embedded in rubberized mats. Instructions will be provided as to the procedure for properly attaching the tag. Any participant who fails to attach the tag properly, will not receive an official time. ChronoTrack tags are assigned to each individual runner and; consequently, are not transferrable. Should an individual who registered for the 10-Miler decide instead to take part in the 4-Mile Walk for Fun, they should not wear their timing tag during the event.

General Information

Participants are to report to the Sports USA/Hedrick Stadium area by 6 a.m. Following 6 a.m., area accessibility will be more difficult due to road closures. Pre-race instructions will be given at 6:20 a.m.

Digital display clocks will be located at mile marks throughout the course.

Seven water points and two water sprays will be located along the route. Five of those water points will provide Gatorade drink. Portable restroom facilities will also be available near each water point.

Pets, bicycles, headphones, and rollerblades will not be permitted on the course. Walkers may be required to use sidewalks in order to facilitate a more prompt reopening of streets.

4-Mile Walk for Fun

The Fourth Annual Army Birthday 4-Mile Walk for Fun will be conducted in conjunction with the Army Birthday 10-Miler. This will be a non-competitive event and participants are required to register by checking the appropriate block on the entry form. Entry and packet pick-up requirements are the same as the Army Birthday 10-Miler, HOWEVER, PARTICIPANTS WILL NOT RECEIVE A TIMING TAG.

Volunteers

Volunteers are needed to assist with water points and finish area administration. All volunteers will receive an Army Birthday Ten Miler commemorative T-shirt. If interested in volunteering, please call 396-1217/396-1218.
