The race will be held on Wednesday morning at a time that will allow runners to make the first sessions. Stop by the race registration booth by Tuesday, November 7th to pick up your t-shirt and number, a map of the course, and find organizational details for Wednesday morning. The awards ceremony will be held at the Run registration area on Wednesday at noon.
Create a Team
Don’t forget to put together a team to compete in our CORPORATE RACE and DIVISIONS AND GROUPS RACE. Each team representing a corporate entity (university, unemployed, research organization, manufacturer, etc.) or Division/Group must have at least 3 team members to qualify.
Times are handicapped by age and sex.* To enter your team, please email your roster, team name, and affiliation to the Race Director (bridget_rogers@avs.org) before noon on Tuesday, November 7, 2023. Please make sure each team member has registered for the race.
*While we do not currently have qualifying standards for non-binary athletes, we are working on ways non-binary participants are accepted into the event. Discussions are ongoing with non-binary attendees, in an effort to further promote inclusion at all AVS events.
