How do the separate start corrals work?
The 10 Mile Race features a multiple corral start. Seeded Corrals are open to participants who run 9:30 mile pace or faster and submit proof of past performance (see details below). The Open Corral is for all paces. All corrals will have pace-per-mile markers to assist participants in positioning themselves.

The intent of the corral start system is to ensure a positive race experience and provide all participants the same opportunity for a quick, smooth and safe start and sufficient room to run along the course.

As a reminder, your official time does not begin until you cross the start line. The timing system provides each participant with an accurate time from the start to finish lines.
