There is an open event (the Jingle Jog) and the Championships. First is the ERS Championship which starts at 4:30pm,This is an invitation only event open to runners who have scored over 100 points during the 2016 ERS Race Series.or have run a sub 20 min 5k (mens) or sub 23 min 5k (females) in an ERS Event.
This year our champions will race in a team event called the Run around Relay. The two person team will run two 1.55 mile lengths each but the start of each leg is 1/4 mile apart which means as one team member runs the other will jog to their start line. When you finish your leg you will have to jog to the back to your starting line to meet your team mate. Just enough distance to keep you on your toes and it should make for an interesting race. Each team must have at least one champion on the team. Everyone who races will recieve the exclusive ERS Championship Magnetic Medal. Top team for male, female and coed will be recognized.
Champions who would like to run the Jingle Jog Must register for the jingle jog.
The Jingle Jog:
This is a family friendly 5k which will start at 5:30 just as the sun sets. It is open to all and is a fun evening of running through christmas lights. Every runner will recieve glowing swag. Last year we bought over 10,000 lights and we hope to grow the lights again this year. At the finishline we will have special holiday treats, music and awards for the top finishers in each 10 year age group. We will do a kids 1/2 mile run before the 5k and every child will earn their own holiday treat.We are all done before it gets to late so you won't miss any New Years festivities.
The Course for both events will start and finish inside the park area on Hutchinson island. Park in the Pit and Paddox area in the race track (not the westin or trade center). Packet Pickup will be on friday. Location to be determined. Shirt included for the Jingle Jog along with Glow Swag. Finisher Medal included for Championships.
