Additional Information
When you register, you need to predict your finishing time. The race will be chip timed, but there will be no clocks on the course and runners are not allowed to wear watches. After the race, you’ll see what your actual finish time was and just how close you came. The people that are closest to their predicted times win.
Because this race is not about speed, we will not have separate categories for men & women or different age groups. Instead, the top 5 most accurate runners will win a $30 coupon to JackRabbit, the next 10 most accurate will win a $20 coupon, and the next 10 most accurate will win a $10 coupon. Winners will receive coupons via email or as a store credit.
The race will begin and end at the Bartel Prichard lot at the intersection of 15th St and Prospect Park West in Prospect Park at 7:00 p.m. Please plan to arrive no later than 6:45p. Bag drop will be provided. The start is very close to the F train stop at Prospect Park. The race course will be approximately one loop of the park.
The proceeds of this event are going directly to benefit Prospect Park. Instead of printing yet another race tee shirt, we’re going to pool the proceeds from the race and put them towards a project in Prospect Park that will benefit the running community.
Because this is a prediction race, we must wait for all participants to finish and for everyone’s results to be tabulated before announcing the winners. Unfortunately, that means we won’t be able to have an awards ceremony that night. Winners will be announced via email and Facebook and in the JackRabbit newsletter.
The race is capped at 400 registrants. Online registration will end at 5:00 p.m. on Monday, April 12th or when the race is full. Pre event registration is $20 online through Active.com. Pre-race packet pickup will be available at the JackRabbit Union Square store on Monday, April 12th or at the race start beginning at 6:00pm. If space is still available, race evening registration will be $30 on-site.
See you there!
