PLEASE NOTE THIS IMPORTANT CHANGE TO THE 2013 SERIES:
Time Limits ~~ For the safety of participants and to reduce the burden on our volunteers, all participants in the 10 Mile and Half Marathon distances will be required to maintain a minimum pace of 20 min/mile in order to be allowed to complete and receive a finishing time for those distances only.  In the 10 Miler, those participants who do not reach the 8 mile water station by 2 hours 40 min after the start (approx. 9:40 am) will be offered a ride back to the finish area.  Volunteers will start taking down the finish structure 3 hours 20 min after the race start (approx. 10:20 am).  For the half marathon, volunteers will start taking down the finish structure 4 hour 22 min after the race start (approx. 11:22 am). Those participants who are not in a position to finish by that time will be offered a ride back to the finish area.  Participants who intend to walk the entire RRS (or otherwise may not be able to maintain a 20 min/mile pace) are encouraged to do the first 6 events to guarantee their status as an ‘Official Finisher’.

  • If you have not received your bib and chip by about July 4th PLEASE EMAIL terrilee262@yahoo.com so we can check on things.  If all else failed at that point John Payne, Results Coordinator, will have a few back-up packets for pre-registrants, all you would have to do is arrive prior to 6:30am on race day.
  • PINS and TIES will be available at the race sites, we will not include those in the mailing.
  • As in the past, we will also have extra chips available for rental for emergencies, the chip got left on the shoes at home, the dog ate it (more than once, truly, silly dogs like chips!) etc.
  • Please pass this information along to your friends and family who may not receive our emails.  Please also encourage your friends and family to register early and save themselves a drive to packet pickups on Saturday, July 13th!
  • Day of race registration/bib/packet pickup cut off times are also posted in the Roadrunner newsletter, on the MRTC website and on the MRTC Facebook page. MRTC makes every effort to transmit this information via email to its members and registrants, but accepts no responsibility for any email delivery failures.
