RACE MORNING
THE COURSE
Starting in Fountain Park, participants will run through downtown Allentown before finishing back at the park.
This course is marked with cones and barricades, and will have police assistance with guiding the route.
We will have a water station near the 1.5-mile marker.
CORRAL START
You chose a corral during registration that ranged from A to I. We base this on expected race paces to keep everything organized and running smoothly (pun intended). It is important to stick to your correct corral. If you cannot remember your corral assignment, you can check the sticker on the front of your bib on race day, check your confirmation email, or log in to your RunSignUp account.
All participants will be lined up at the start line by 9:45 am. Simply look for the tall teardrop banners that read 'Corral A', 'Corral B', and so on. Line up behind your corral leader near the start area.
Right at 10 am, we will release the release Corral A, with each corral following behind. Once the final corral is sent through, the start line will close and you will not be permitted onto the course.
We welcome all ages and abilities! If you plan on walking the course, please ensure you start with either corral H (walking solo) or corral I (walking in a group). Furthermore, whenever walking, please stick to the right-hand side so others can safely pass you on the left.
TOUGH PUMPKIN
For those of you participating in the Tough Pumpkin option, be sure to pick up your packet at the Packet Pick-Up tent first. Then, head over to the Tough Pumpkin booth marked by the large teardrop banner. You will use the tear-off on your bib to select your Tough Pumpkin.
Sizes will range from approximately 2-10 pounds.
PRO TIP: Come to early packet pick-up on Friday for a greater range of sizes!
Please note, these pumpkins are NOT the complimentary pumpkins included in every registration. The pumpkins at the Tough Pumpkin booth are for Tough Pumpkin participants only! Everyone will receive the included pumpkin at the end of the race.
