Registration and number pick-up 5:45-6:45pm at the Tortoise & The Hare statue (opposite Gleeson's Sports Bar & Grill, 6115 Broadway).
Races start at 7pm on the Parade Ground ("the flats") just north of registration, and proceed onto the historic cross country course.
Races are 5k going over the back hills, except the 2-person relay (2 miles each).
All races are held rain or shine, but violent thunderstorms can sometimes cause minor delays.
We are introducing a chip timing system this year, but timing mats will only be at the finish line. Therefore, all timing is "gun time," so don't be late!
We are using tear-off strips attached to your bib as a back-up, so do not remove it from your bib prior to the race. You will turn-in this and your timing chip after crossing the finish line.
Public transportation: #1 subway to 242nd Street (last stop) and walk 400m north along Broadway.
Driving: On-street parking is hit-or-miss. Sometimes you get lucky, usually you don't. Get here as early as possible and be prepared to park several blocks away from the start area. The long-term meters near the subway are a good option.

Series Points System
- 1st Overall (M & F): 6 pts
- 1st age group: 4 pts
