Training Plan - We have created a 12-week training plan for the beginner to intermediate runner, specifically designed to prepare you for the Sprint Relay. Our plan starts in July and features 4 days a week of running, with 3 days of active rest. Weekly mileage starts at 10 miles per week, peaks at 25 miles per week, and incorporates running hills and speed work to prepare you for race day.
Team Pace - This is a running event. Each team must have an average team pace of 12:00 minutes per mile or less for us to plan law enforcement and volunteer support on the course. Each team member will provide an estimated 5K race pace when registering.
On Course Aid - There will be two water stops on the longer legs of the course, and one on the two and three-mile legs.
On Course Directions - There will be directional signage and volunteer/staff support to help with on-course directions.
