INFORMATION
Registration
Online
registration closes at midnight October 11, 2007.
Your
Race Number
Each participant will be issued a race number. Please check
to see that all information is correct. If there is an error,
please notify the 10K office. Do Not Lose It! You must have
it to pick up your T-shirt and your electronic timing chip.
It is also your ticket to the pasta party and race day breakfast.
Electronic
Chip Timing
Each participant in a competitive event must pick up an electronic
chip that will be tied around your shoelace. The electronic
chip may be picked up at the Health & Fitness Expo on
Friday or at the Start Line on Saturday. Your chip is registered
to your race number, so please don't trade or switch with
someone else. All participants must return their chip after
finishing their race event to register for the $10,000 Cash
Prize Drawing.
Medical
Information
Please take the time to fill out the medical information on
the back of your race number. Please print and use a ballpoint
pen. This information is very important in case of an emergency
on the course or elsewhere.
Water
Stations and Splits
Please remember to drink plenty of fluids. Water stations
are located at the start and finish line. In addition, water
stations are also located at the 1-mile mark in the 5K and
at these approximate points in the 10K: 2-mile, 3 1/2-mile,
and 5-mile. Port-a-Johns are stationed at the Start and Finish.
Please respect the homeowners near the Start Line and use
the portable units nearby. Timing Splits will be announced
during the 10K at each mile marker and at the 5K mark.
Emergency
Medical Services
Mobile ambulance units from The Medical Center's EMS are stationed
throughout the race course and finish line if you need assistance.
Fun
Walk and 5K Run Start
The 1.5 Mile Fun Walk and the 5K Run start on University Boulevard,
next to WKU dormitories Meredith and Zacharias Hall. Participants
in the Fun Walk cannot run, but participants in the 5K Run
can run or walk!
10K
Start
Participants in the 10K should begin to assemble at the Start
Line, beginning at 8:20 am. Seeders will place you on the
starting line based upon your expected 10K running pace. Seeders
will have signs that indicate the number of minutes that,
on the average, a runner expects to run each mile. For example,
if you expect to run the 10K in 40 minutes, then line up behind
the seeder at the start with the sign that shows "6 Minutes."
For the safety of all runners, please do not line up ahead
of your realistic pace. Such action will impede the faster
runners and also can cause a safety hazard.
Finish
Line Chutes
When you cross the finish line, do not stop. Because of the
electonic chip timing, the need for chutes has been removed.
Please continue to jog through the entire length of the finish
line area and then remove your electronic chip as you deposit
your entry into the $10,000 Cash Prize Drawing.
Parking
There is plenty of parking on and around the WKU campus, but
please try to arrive early and be aware that most streets
around campus close at 7:30 am. See the Course Map.
Citizen's
First Pasta Party
Your pasta party ticket is on your race number. Everyone is
invited to enjoy pasta, garden salad, bread, dessert and beverage.
The dinner, sponsored by Citizen's First, will be held at
the Sloan Convention Center, next to the Health & Fitness
Expo, from 4:00 - 9:00 pm on Friday, October 12. Additional
