Aid Stations
For the 5K race, 1 aid station with water only.

For the 1 mile, no aid station.

 

Bag Check
There is no bag check because parking is on-site. Allow enough time if you are picking up your packet race day morning to take it back to your car. We advise you to arrive 1 hour before your start time.

 

Packet Pickup
There are both pre-race and race day packet pickup options. Details will be available in early March.

 

Parking
All parking is in close walking distance right by the race site. Our handy dandy Parking Map PDF can be printed close to race day to help you navigate!

The address for the race site, to plug into your GPS to get to the general vicinity, but more specifically follow the directions and map below:

Fairview Town Hall
372 Town Pl
Fairview, TX 75069

Coming from Hwy 75 (North Central Expressway): Go east on Stacy Road. Turn left at the 2nd stoplight

Coming from westbound Stacy Road or from Greenville Dr (Hwy 5): Take Stacy Road heading west past Greenville. Turn right at the first turn after Greenville intersection (by the water tower).

 

Timing
The event will be chip timed. The "chip" is actually a tag attached to the back of the race bib. Unlike shoe chip tags, there are no special instructions for the bib tag.  They do not have to be looped a specific way, nor is there possible runner mishandling that can compromise RFID timing.  Do not take the foam cover off your bib chip. If you do not have a chip on the back of your bib, find the race timer by the start/finish early race day morning to get a new bib.

Some tips that enhance reader sensitivity, all of which are very standard practices:

  • Bibs need to be worn to ensure race timing.  If they do not wear a bib, they do not receive a time.
  • Bibs should be worn on the front of the body.
  • Bibs should be worn visible to anyone observing, so on the exterior of clothing.  If youwear a jacket and place the bib underneath, it can help if you expose the underlying bib upon mat-crossing to enhance reader sensitivity.  This is usually only a precaution.
  • Bibs should not be crumpled up and placed inside runner's clothing.

 

Awards
All finishers receive a gorgeous finisher medal. In addition, the following awards will be given:

5K -

  • 1st Open Male & Female,
  • 1st Masters Male & Female (overall winners over age 40),
  • Top 3 Males & Females for Age groups 00-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70+
  • Top 3 in Clydesdale (males that weigh more than 195 lbs) and Athena (women that weigh more than 150 lbs).

1 Mile -

  • No awards.

Clydesdale and Athena divisions are their own award division like the age groups so they will not have their results shown with their age group and will not be eligible for age group awards.

Top overall finisher awards are based on gun time. Age group finisher awards are based on chip times.

You must pick up your award at the race. Awards are fragile and will NOT be mailed. If you must leave early, you can email us later about arranging to pick up your awards.
