Thanks so much for racing with us today. We appreciate you racing and hope that you had a great experience. As a point of clarification, the course was 3.1 miles measured 1 ft off the curb and following all of the cones and staying on the proper sides of them. Some individuals were coming up .02 or .03 short - If the corners were cut to the inside of the cones this accounts for approx. .04 on this course. Also, please do not rely on your GPS to get an accurate course measurement. Believe it or not, GPS is affected by Cold, Cloud Cover, atmospheric pressure, aand more not to mention that every watch measures differently. The three watches we used to check this course distance resulted in a 3.11, 3.10 and 3.08 reading. So if you PR'ed today. Congratulations, you earned it!
Hope you enjoyed the custom bibs, medals to 10 places, post race food, choice of tech tees or Long Sleeves in both men's and woman's sizes, The walk, 10 k or 5 k options, the series points and awards, the I raced them all Sweatshirt offer, the Inside staging area, the OAW Medical, the double water stops, the individual receipt reader finisher receipts, the chip Timed Start and finish and the volunteers who took a Sunday to help you out.
