10K Individual Race
Runners in this event will have the unique experience of participating in an inaugural event for 2008.
The race will take place within Wright-Patterson Air Force Base's Area B, where runners will get to see historic buildings as well as facilities housing cutting-edge research and technology. The last mile of the race will pass the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force's Presidential Hangar and finish among several historic aircraft static displays. The course is sure to be a great experience for the casual as well as the competitive athlete.
Athletes can choose to run this event as an individual competitor or as a member of a team. The team concept will be similar to that of a cross country competition, in that 4 members will each run the race individually and the times will be added and compared to the other teams. Runners who choose to run as a member of a team will be eligible for team awards only. Racers who choose to run the course without a team affiliation will be eligible for the individual awards.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR SECURITY REASONS
For your protection and base security, YOU MUST pick up your race packet, bib number, and timing chip with picture identification prior to the race. Under NO circumstances will these items be given to a family member, friend, or anyone other than the race participant. NO exceptions will be made.
