Brief Description

Join HAVEN for this unique 10k and 5k race. 5k runners may do one minute of pushups before their race to deduct time. Each pushup is ten seconds off of the run time. This mix of strength and endurance is a favorite among Bozeman's athletes. You'll enjoy this South Bozeman course on a mixture of trails and roads. Dress in purple to kick off October Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Bring your dog! Music, food, massages, and prizes available!

Directions

From I-90, take Main Street exit west, straight on Main, then left on Church Street. Park on the street (limited parking) and walk to Bogert Park on the west side of Church Street. Start line, push ups and packets are at the park.

PushUps

Each 5K participant has one minute to do as many standard push-ups as possible prior to the race. Push-ups begin at 8:30 AM. An official will count and time push-ups. Racers drop 10 seconds per push-up from race time. For example, if 20 push-ups are performed and a 30 minute race is run, 3 minutes and 20 seconds will be subtracted for a total race time of 26:40. Total times will be automatically calculated for awards.

Course

The 10K goes out Linear Trail, east on Kagy, up on the trail behind Highland, then Highland and back through Peets Hill. The 5K course starts flat on Church Avenue, curves onto the the sandy Linear Trail, loops through a quiet east neighborhood and returns the same way to Bogert Park. Course is measured by wheel. Course will be clearly marked. Pushups at 8:30, 5K race starts at 9:00 AM. 10K at 9:05.
