Sign Up for an 8K Online Training Program

The Race to Stop the Silence 8K has teamed up with ActiveTrainer coaches to provide training plans specifically for this distance. These plans are designed for athletes of ALL levels, from the first-timer all the way up to the most experienced athlete. Included with your training plan is an online calendar, reporting tools, training calculators, maps, daily emails, and much more!

ChronoTrack Timing and Scoring

Transponder timing operated by Pacers will be used to score both races. 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 for the 8K will be based upon clock time and age group awards will be based upon transponder times.
