On race day, runners will be bussed from the finish line to the start from 6:00 a.m. to 6:45 a.m. The course is not USATF certified and cannot be used to qualify for any USATF events. Registration will not be held on race day, so runners must register on the club web site in advance. Entry fees are $15 for MCRRC members and $25 for nonmembers. For directions and registration info, go to the Web site.
