BENEFICIARY

Funds raised from this event will directly benefit opportunities and programs for agricultural education, such as 4-H, Future Farmers of America, and Farm City Week. Proceeds from the race will benefit the Putnam - St. Johns County Farm Bureau. This organization is formed with the purpose of solving problems concerning agriculturalists and the agricultural industry. We believe farming is necessary to the viability and sustainability of promoting our counties, state and nation. Hence, we operate to insure and better promote the profitability of our farmers.

15K CHALLENGE

The 15K Challenge will combine a participant's times from the separate 10K and 5K races.  The top male and the female will receive awards.  Challenge participants will be eligible for the 10K and 5K awards.  Challenge participants must be able to complete the 10K under 1 hour and 30 minutes, in order to start the 5K at 8:30 AM.

The 15K Challenge is not a 15K race.  The 15K Challenge is simply an event that combines the results of the separately run 10K and 5K races.  Because of the timing of the starts of the 10K and 5K races (7:00 AM and 8:30 AM respectively), in order to compete in the 15K Challenge, a participant must be able to finish the 10K in less than 1 hour and 30 minutes.  If a 15K Challenge registrant finishes the 10K in under 1 hour and 30 minutes, they will then wait until the start of the 5K at 8:30 AM to begin that race.  If a 15K Challenge registrant finishes the 10K in over 1 hour and 30 minutes, the 5K will have already begun, and they will not be able to complete the challenge. They will be scored in the 10K.  In addition to being scored in the 15K Challenge results, a 15K Challenge finisher will also be separately scored in the 10K and 5K results. A 15K Challenge finisher will be eligible for awards in all three events.

T-SHIRTS

Spud Run shirts will be given to everyone who registers by 4/1/2024. Shirts will be given to participants who have not pre-registered on a first come, first serve basis.

REGISTRATION/PACKET PICK UP

Registrations will be accepted the morning of the race.

AWARDS

The overall top 3 male and female winners of the 15K Challenge will receive an award.

RACE TIMING AND SCORING
