All solo runners will begin at 7:00 am to afford them the maximum amount of daylight possible to complete the event. The course closes at 6 pm so there is an 11 hour time limit for solo runners. Teams are assigned to three start times at 8 am, 9 am and 10 am with the slowest third of the teams beginning at 8 am, the middle third beginning at 9 am and the fastest third beginning at 10 am. The anticipated team paces shown in the table are calculated based on the average pace of the members of that team. In other words, the assignments are made based on the information that you provided to us.
According to the information provided to us, all teams should be able to finish between 3 pm and 6 pm on race day. Each year, we are contacted by team captains who experience unplanned roster changes in October and worry that these changes will jeopardize their ability to finish prior to 6 pm. For planning reasons, however, we will NOT grant wave changes for any reason. Team captains who experience unplanned roster changes that slow their anticipated pace are advised to rearrange the leg assignments to address the problem. In other words, assign the longer and/or hillier legs to the stronger runners on your team. Adapting to changing circumstances is part of the challenge, folks!
In order to guarantee your team members t-shirt sizes and avoid receiving an inaccurate start wave assignment, Fall 50 teams must have their rosters completed by Friday, September 30th. Wave assignments for the teams will be set based on the anticipated pace data for each runner and team in the system on Friday, September 30th at midnight. Teams will be assigned to the three waves based on the collective pace of their members. The slowest third of the teams will start at 8 am on race day, the middle third at 9 am and the fastest third at 10 am. Start time assignments will be posted to the website on Monday, October 3rd. Once the start time assignments are posted, they will not be changed for any reason, including failure to complete your roster, last-minute changes in your roster or sudden unexplained increases or reductions in your anticipated pace…Yes, we know all your tricks ![]()
