Tuesday Night Races: FAQs

​​How are Races Timed?​​

As you cross the finish line in the timed chute, you will see staff punching in times on the timing equipment. A punch is recorded for every individual and corresponds to the cards distributed at the end of the chute. ​​The numbered cards are in numerical and correspond to the time punched when you entered the chute. Please don’t cut in line. ​​
​If you would prefer to not have your time recorded, please use the un-timed chute and take a card so we can track the number of participants and enter you in the prize drawing.

Why Should I go Through the Finish Chute and Take a Number?

We ask that all participants enter the finish chute and receive a number card so we can get an accurate number of race participants. Participants that cross the finish line who don’t take a card will throw the final timing results. ​
If you would prefer to not have your time recorded, please use the un-timed chute and take a card so we can track the number of participants and enter you in the prize drawing.​​

How are Baby Joggers Timed?

Parents carrying a child or pushing a baby jogger are asked to let the timer know, when you approach the finish chute, how many are crossing if all children can not be clearly seen.​​

What if I Spell My Name Incorrectly or I​llegibly?​

Cards turned in without complete names or are illegible may be listed in the results but will not gain points or be considered as a series top finisher at the Awards Banquet. If you want your name spelled correctly in the results, please print it clearly on your card and include first and last names.

​​​​Can I Bring My Pet?​

Due to safety concerns and race size, dogs are not permitted to participate. Please leave your pet at h​ome. Participants who bring their dogs will be asked to leave them in their vehicles.

​Who is Eligible for the Running Shoe Drawing?

Our sponsor Skinny Rave​n, has generously offered two pairs of running shoes for an end of the season drawing. Each season pass holders who get their pass by September 19, will be entered into the drawing.
