PIN YOUR NUMBER TO THE FRONT OF YOUR SHIRT OR SHORTS

The FH5K is timed with a timing strip attached to your number. It is important that you are wearing your number when running. Verify your name on the back of the bib.

TO ENSURE A SAFE AND SUCCESSFUL START FOR EVERYONE

The fastest runners line up at the front of the pack. Slower runners and walkers: line up further back and individuals with strollers PLEASE stay to the side.

We will use a wave start so please line up by your mile pace. Look for signs with pace times. Remember we are using timing strips. Your time will not start until you and your race number have crossed the starting line. Your race time will stop when you cross the finish line.

 

IMPORTANT REMINDER

Please note that whether or not you, the parent or guardian, are participating in the FH5K…you MUST remain present at the event for the entire time your child is participating in the FH5K.  

Neither the FH5K race committee nor the Forest Hills School District is responsible for your child during the event.

ON THE COURSE

Water Stations: There will be two water stations. The first will be at the end of Nagel and the second at the end of State. Please smile and thank our volunteers for helping!

Running Courtesy: Please stay to the right on Nagel and State to avoid the faster runners returning.

FINISH LINE 

It is very important to keep moving once you have crossed the finish line. Do not stop in the chute, or the runners behind you may bump into you!

Continue straight ahead and enjoy tasty treats provided by Kroger, Hoist and Big Apple Bagels.

Results will be emailed & texted to you and can be found at www.timingspot.com

CONGRATULATIONS!

Come up to the track to enjoy the After Party, Kids Fun Run and Mascot Games! 

Pat yourself on the back for a job well done!

Enjoy the After Party with your family and friends!
