Start time assignments for the October 22, 2011 Fall 50 are now posted to front of the Fall 50 event website. 
You may CLICK HERE or on the “Start Time Assignments” button to the right to see your start time.

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!
