Also, the gear will be organized by your bib number so please do not lose your bib because we will not be able to find your good luck Barry Bonds Bobblehead.
^ back to topWe will be utilizing the latest technology in race timing as the industry has upgraded to disposable "D-Tags". Not only will these tags give you an accurate finish time based on your start and finish line crossing, but they are super easy to use. These tags will be attached to your race number and you will need to remove the adhesive tag and re-attach it to your shoe laces. Done and done. After the race the tags are disposable and thus a vast improvement from the chip timing systems in the past which required you to bend over in exhaustion and wait for a 10 year old volunteer with scissors to ruin your laces. Three cheers for technology.
^ back to topStarting Line Procedure
Half Marathoners and 5k runners will be starting and running the first two miles together. Participants will be differentiated by the color of their bib. Runners are asked to run the event they signed up for originally. Opportunities to switch your registration will be available at the pre-race expo for a fee.
Accessing Your Pace Group
Based on scout's honor, runners are encouraged to line up in the starting gate based on their projected pace. But do not fret, while it may take 5 to 10 minutes to get all of you across the start, the race will be chip timed and your official clock won't start until you cross the starting line. Plus, you'll probably pass all those overconfident runners starting towards the front anyways. It will likely take us 10 minutes.
Finish Line Procedure
After your exciting finish at the home plate please try to keep moving out of the stadium. Runners will be coming fast behind you and plus we want to get you to the tail gate. Water and recovery drinks will be offered as runners leave the stadium, but the recovery food will all be placed at the Post-Race Tail Gate.
After you've raced across home plate it's time celebrate and the AT&T Giant Race takes the post-party just as serious as the race itself. The big top in Lot A will play host to all of the festivities including live music, recovery food and of course beverages for all ages. Cool down from the inside at the Bud Light Beer Garden or get yourself a free massage from our friends at the National Health Institute.
Where: Lot A Expo Tent (3rd St. and Terry Francois near the starting line) When: After you finish until 2:30 p.m. Why: It's Saturday, you've run a great race and it's time to relax so you won't want to miss the Post AT&T Giant Race Tail Gate. Who: You, your friends, your family, and your groupies.
