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

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.
