Post Race Party

The birthplace of the race was at Brown’s Tavern. Traditionally, we have a post-race party and awards ceremony there. Unfortunately, due to COVID restrictions, we cannot have it this year. Hopefully, this will return for our 2022 race. 

Safety Note

We strongly discourage unofficial entrants (bandits) from competing in our race. Bandits consume scarce resources and can delay or inhibit accurate race results. Unregistered runners, running with dogs and strollers, rollerblading, riding a bicycle, and the wearing of headphones are prohibited on the race course at any time, to ensure runner safety and to comply with liability insurance standards. E-mail [email protected] with requests for special accommodations.

Facemask Policy

Current guidelines require that participants must wear their face mask at the start and finish of the race. Masks may be removed while racing provided compliance with social distancing guidelines. Staff and race volunteers will be wearing masks at all times as well.
