This event is for solo male and female racers; however, we do have a relay division and a special "heartbreak" feature explained below.
OPTIONAL -- Special Heartbreak Participants: If you want to "team up" with your loved one, to celebrate this time of year (Valentine's Day), the top three coed couples will receive a special award for having the fastest combined race time.
The couple does not have to stay together. We will simply add each racer's finish time to create the Heartbreak time.
Simply register as normal (solo) and tell us on race day, who your partner is!
