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.
