Elite Seeding

If runners are at least 13 years of age and have a reasonable chance of finishing in the top 50 overall, male or female (5:15 pace for men, 6:30 pace for women), they may qualify for Elite Seeding. After registering online before April 11th, runners who wish to be considered for this category should email information verifying their ability to Elite Seeding Coordinator Andy LeFriec.

NOTE: All email requests must be received by Friday, April 11th. Notification of elite seeding will not be mailed. Those who qualify will be notified at Check-In.
