We will be starting the different races off in WAVES. PLEASE read this information to make sure you start in the correct wave!
PLEASE familiarize yourself with the course and train for this distance as it is a challenging course and typically hot on race day.
Once you are on 10th Avenue Expressway, make sure to follow the 15k signs and turn RIGHT onto 15th Street. Maps will only be available online – we will not have maps on race day.
You will line up in front of the 5K runners & 2-mile walkers. We will have signs and corrals for each wave.
For your safety, please follow all cones, instructions from road marshals and police at all times.
Water stations will be at approximately 3, 4 ½, 6, 7 ½, 8 and 8 ½ miles.
All miles will be marked on the road surface.
All 15K runners must average 13:00 mins/mile. If you fall below this pace, you may be asked to drop out and ride back in a sag wagon. This ensures safe traffic control and allows the roads to be reopened to traffic in a timely manner.
Once on 7th Ave, please stay to the far left, as you will be making the LEFT turn onto 17th Street. Be aware of 15K runners that may be going straight at this intersection.
Once you are on the 10th Avenue Expressway, make sure you follow the 5K signs and turn RIGHT on 16th Street. An Altoona Police officer will be directing.
5k participants will be corralled behind the 15k runners. After the runners start, you will move to the start line until you start your race.
Water Stations will be in front of the Altoona High School (around 1 ½ miles) and on 7th Street near Roberts Gas Station.
Once you start, you will make an immediate RIGHT turn onto 12th Street. Then RIGHT onto 11th Avenue.
You must use the sidewalk once you come to the 17th Street Bridge.
You will do ONE loop around the Station Mall Medical Center and back over 17th Street Bridge.
Walk participants will be starting after the 15k and 5k participants. Look for the 2-mile walk signs on road surface.
Please be respectful of the runners coming into the finish line and stay to the right when finishing.
