Teams are placed into Starting Wave’s based on their Average Team Pace. We DO NOT seed teams slowest to fastest, they are randomized to make sure the parking areas are manageable for all teams. Accurate individual 5K times must be entered by each runner into their Roster Tool profile. Starting Wave times will be emailed to captains prior to race day and will also be provided at Packet Pickup. Teams are required to select a Standard Team or VIP Team at Registration. 


Standard Teams will be strategically assigned to a start waves to keep traffic counts manageable at exchange point areas, maximize your fun, and finish before the cut-off.


VIP Teams: A limited number of VIP Upgrade Teams will have the option to choose and guarantee their start wave plus receive additional benefits outlined at VIP signup.The only way to guarantee your starting time is to register as a VIP Team. VIP registrations are limited on a first come, first serve basis for an additional fee.
