Road Mile wave assignments:
At Packet Pick-up, Road Mile participants will be able to choose which wave they want to participate in and will be assigned a bib for that wave. Once bib is assigned, participant must compete in their chosen wave. Note: Elite waves are restricted to accepted Elite Athletes only, participants cannot place themselves in those waves.
“Double racing” NOT allowed: It is NOT permitted to run in multiple events (ie the 5k AND Road Mile) nor in multiple waves of the Road Mile. In order to maintain results integrity, unfortunately, runners will NOT be able to participate in different events/waves with the same bib.
