Team Categories: The following team categories are available for the 4 Mile race.
Each participant may only enter 1 team category, for example a parent cannot enter a Parent/Child category and the Couples category. Both team members must enter the same Team Name when registering for the team event. The team name does not have to be a family name, it can be any name you choose, but must be the same for both team members. Example, if a father and daughter are entering the Parent/Daughter category, both runners must enter the same team name, e.g. “SMITH” or “JETS” for each runner.
Virtual Run: We also have a Virtual Run option for anyone who cannot make it to the Firecracker 4 Miler on July 4th. This allows you to still get a race shirt and souvenir pint glass while doing your run, wherever you may be on the day. Virtual runners must also pick up their shirt and pint glass at the pre-race pick up times. We cannot mail these out. Results for Virtual runners will not be recorded.
Awards: We will be having a medal presentation for all categories after the race. All results will be posted online at SplitSecondRacing.net/Results. We will have souvenir race ribbons for all kids in the Fun Run.
Race Timing: Chip Timing by SplitSecondRacing.net and Live Results posted as runners cross the finish line. An instant email will go out to each finisher as they finish, so check your email. We will use a chip timing mat at the start so each runner's timing will begin when they individually cross the starting mat. Your results will be calculated by your chip time only.
