No Race Day Registration
It is a violation of our permit for any event to accept funds (registration fees) on National Park Service property. In order to continue conducting races in both East and West Potomac Parks we must comply with NPS regulations. Please register before December 9.
ChronoTrack Timing and Scoring
Transponder timing operated by Capital Running Company will be used to score the 10K race. The system uses a computer tag which must be tied to each runners' shoelaces and records the exact time a runner crosses the starting line and the finish line, resulting in a net time for each runner. The D-tag is disposable. Overall awards will be based upon clock time and age group awards will be based upon transponder times.
