MidKnight 5K Run
Imporant race information for race night!
Article Posted on Monday, February 20th, 2012
Hey Runners!
This Friday night, February 24, 2012 at MIDNIGHT marks our first ever MidKnight 5K Run (I know this is confusing, yes it’s technically Saturday 12:00 am)!
We are offering two different times for sign-in due to the high volume of participants we are expecting. The first option is this Thursday the 23rd from 12:00-6:00pm, you will be able to sign-in and pick up your bib at our sponsor, Fit2Run’s, store located in the Florida Mall near JCPenney’s. Your second option is sign-in and bib pick up from 12:00-3:00pm this Friday, February 24, 2012in the RWC lobby.
We will have sign-in sheets at the race itself, but we encourage you all, for your benefit, to come to one of the pre-race sign-ins. Again, the reason we are doing this is so that we can start the race on time at 12:00am midnight.
You will NEED to bring your student ID with you to sign-in regardless of which location you choose. Make sure you receive a bib. This is like your golden ticket.
On the evening of the race please arrive no later than 11:30 to receive any last minute information, stretch, glow necklaces/bracelets/glasses etc. & receive directions.
The START/FINISH of the race is across from the RWC outside of the Ferrell Commons/Marketplace area (this is also where you will sign-in if you can't make it to the two other check-in locations). Whatever you put as your pace time when you registered will determine the group with which you line up with at the start of the race.
When you are approaching the finish line please make sure if you are running with an I-pod/head phones that you take them out to hear your time!!!At the end of the race you will need to turn in your time, along with your bib to receive your t-shirt.
There will be a light snack provided after the race; bananas, apples, bagels, water etc. The first, second, and third place winners of each gender will be announced and receive pretty cool prizes from our Sponsor Fit2Run.
The map route for the event is this:
-Start in Ferrell Commons Parking Lot
-Fun to Apollo Circle and turn left
-Take Apollo Circle all the way around campus (pass Agora Drive, pass Lake Claire along Gemini Boulevard North, pass Memory Mall all the way around to Health Services and make a right)
-Turn Right just passed the Chemistry Building on Mercury Circle
-Take Mercury Circle around to Memory Mall turn left at Psychology Building
-Go Up to Pegasus Circle and circle around in front of the Student Union all the way around to Health and Public Affairs 1 building then turn right down the Memory Mall
-Make a right between Health and Public Affairs 2 and Parking lot D1
-Run back around Mercury Circle Making a left at the Chemistry Building

If you have friends that didn’t register, they will be allowed to walk-up and register the night of the race, but they will not receive a t-shirt.
