Also a note.....if you take anything away from the notes above then it's the time! Get there early...allow loads of time for parking, entering, warming up and getting to the start line. Sunset is about 8:32pm and the race really needs to start on time.

I may be wrong but I seem to recall last year the start was left off in waves?
Is that right? Is there chip timing to account for that?
Last year the start was zoned which helped reduce the congestion at the start of the previous years race. There is no chip timing.
Really looking forward to the run tonight, weather is perfect and a big crowd is expected!
