New Course for 2005
New for 2005 - We have set the first 5k run to start from the Beach 11 parking lot run along the main road & bike path to and around the Perry Monument and head back to the Beach 11 parking lot. The second 5k run will start from the transition area in the Beach 11 parking lot, run along the main road & bike path in the opposite direction towards the Pine Tree beach area. Runners will then turn around and head back to the finish at Beach 11.
ChampionChip Timing
New for 2005 - ChampionChip timing by the Runner's High. Each participant will wear a chip on their shoe that transmits a signal each time the participant crosses over a special mat on the course. Times are calculated based on the participant's time across the mats.
The Race
The race is a 5 kilometer run, a 20 kilometer bike, and a 5 kilometer run beginning at 8:00 a.m. on Sunday, July 31, 2005. (Discover Presque Isle Weekend). Each 5K run will be two laps of a mixed paved surface and hard-packed dirt course. The bike will be one lap of Presque Isle State Park. Each participant and volunteer receives a unique, high-quality race premium. Immediately following the race, refreshments will be available and awards will be presented to the overall male and female winners and the first, second and third place finishers in each age group, relay and mountain bike categories. You must be present to receive an award.
