It’s a good thing we didn’t arrive at race check-in a second later. We were literally the last ones to get there, and the race directors instructed everyone to begin lining up while we were still pinning on our bibs.
Once our bibs were on, we followed all the other races as they moseyed from the park pavilion and play area over to the trail where the start line was marked. There, the race director made a few general announcements – you know, the usual stuff like: the course layout, the water stop located roughly at the half way point, and some information about next year’s race. Which, good news there, they are hoping to be more timely in announcing their race date in 2016. (Boy, I sure do hope that’s the case, because the current system simply just doesn’t work for anyone who doesn’t have a child enrolled at this school. People need to have at least a couple month’s notice to make sure they have the day free, and so that they can get registered.)
With the last few announcements made, all the racers sort of sandwiched onto the trail, which is called the Paul Bunyan trail in case you’ve never heard of it. And then, without too much more to be said – we were off!
