Course Info: The course is typical rolling Bluegrass countryside. The course will start on S. Brand St. in Midway and will finish on S. Brand St. next to the Midway University soccer fields. The course will not be closed to traffic. In order to adhere to the train schedule and open the roads up to local traffic in a timely manner, you will be required to keep a 14 minute per mile pace. This means you must be able to complete the race in 1:45 or less. If you are not keeping a 14 minute per mile pace you should not expect any support (traffic control, water, sports drink, etc.) and you will not be covered by our insurance policy since you will not be obeying the rules for this race. We ask that you please don’t put us in this position. We will have a person on the course with a flashing red light on his/her back keeping a steady 14 min/mile pace. You will need to keep in front of this person during the race.
Timing: The race will be chip timed. Timing mats will be set up at the starting/finish line.
