The Half Marathon follows a circular route, starting and finishing in Memorial Park. Runners will head south of town and out into the countryside. The terrain is comprised of rolling hills, with a few moderate climbs. The course is USATF certified.
The 5K is run on relatively the same route as the Half. Runners start at the New Prague Community Pool and end in Memorial Park.
The average temperature in May is 59 degrees, but this is Minnesota. Dress appropriately. Once you clear the New Prague city limits, the course is relatively open and is subject to some wind. Most runners opt for standard shirt and running shorts.
Where is there water on the course? Water/aid stations will be available at the 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 mile markers.
Splits are called at the 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 mile marks. The New Prague Half Marathon & 5K uses Champion Chip for its official timing. Your Chip will be in your packet.
Absolutely no early starters are allowed on the racecourse. Individuals in violation of this rule will be disqualified and asked to leave the course. No automobiles, bicycles, baby joggers, roller skis, inline skates, handcycles, hand-cranked wheelchairs, pets or unofficial participants are allowed on the racecourse. Headphones are not forbidden on the course, but we ask that you are aware of your surroundings and other runners.
Where do I find out my results? Race results will be posted at the Start/Finish line within a reasonable amount of time after the finish. Results will also be posted at: www.runnewprague.com (will be posted after Monday, May 12, 2008)
For your safety, we ask that you maintain a 13 minute/mile pace (half runners), a 15 minute/mile for 5Kers. If you cannot maintain that pace, we will ask you to leave the course. The course will close at 11:00 a.m. If you are not finished at that time you will either be provided a ride back to Memorial Park or finish at your own risk. |
