You must be 15 years of age or older and in good health to participate.
If you are part of team, all five team members must cross the finish line TOGETHER to compete for awards!

WAVE START The start will consist of four separate "waves". The first two will be individual runners, and the second two will be for the teams. Due to the narrowness of the trails in several areas, this will help prevent crowding. Winning times will be based on TAG time, not GUN time, so it is possible for individual runners in the second wave and teams in the fourth wave to place in the event.

AWARDS:
Awards will be given to the top five male and female individual finishers in both civilian and military categories. Awards will also be given to the top three teams in all categories (open male, open female, mixed, corporate, military, public safety, and collegiate). The awards ceremony will be held in Freeman Stadium at 10:30 AM
