Information
Date: Sunday, June 6, 2010 Parking Area: The race is point-to-point, so runners will be bussed to the Start. Report to the Parking Area no later than 8:00 AM (please see map). The last bus leaves at 8:45 AM sharp! There is absolutely no parking at the Start area ( drop-off's before 9:30 am are ok, follow signs to Suicide Six ski area from Woodstock) Personal Baggage: Baggage will be transported from the Start area back to the Finish area just before the start of the race. Plan on bringing your own bags with labels already on. In case of bad weather, you'll want to make sure the bag is waterproof. Finish: Polo Field, Quechee, Vermont Course difficulty: The course has a very gentle downgrade, dropping 200 feet in elevation over the 13.1 miles. There is a moderate hill at mile 5 and a short, steep hill at mile 8. T-Shirts: Shirts will be given at the end of the race to each finishing racer. Shirts cannot be mailed. BIBS and Chips: Racer's Bibs and the "D"Tag chips will be given to runners at the Start Area at Suicide Six the morning of the race. We have got the system down pretty well so you wait less than 2 minutes to get your bib and D Tag. Please note, the Bib and D Tag will ONLY BE GIVEN TO THE REGISTERED RUNNER. Timing: We will be using ChronoTrack "D" Tag Timing Systems at the Start and Finish to give you both an official "Gun" time as well as the unofficial "Net" time from when you cross the start mats. You, and your "D" Tag, must pass over both mat systems (start and finish) in order to receive your "Net" time. If your start time is not recorded, you will only receive your "Gun time". The official order of finish for the first three male and female finishers will be based on “Gun” time. For all but these 6 finishers, we will use “Net” times for official order of finish. The USAT&F does accept “Net” times for rankings for masters runners (40 and over). However, it is unclear if they will accept “Net” times for other age groups. Web site results on cbhm.com will be posted in both "Gun" time order as well as "Net" time order. For more information on the D Tag System, visit www.chronotrack.com. To see how the D Tag is applied to your shoe, visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmqReIZvxis. Note: Champion Chips will not work with the "D" Tag system. Results: Same-day results are provided by Granite State Race Services. Results will also be available on the Internet at www.cbhm.com and at www.coolrunning.com. Water Stops: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 miles, plus Start and Finish. HEED Electrolyte Drinks from Hammer Nutrition at Stops: mile 6, 8, 10 and 12. Awards: Top 3 overall finishers, male and female, receive elegant Simon Pearce trophies as well as goodies from Saucony. Top 3 finishers in each age group receive awards. Prizes are donated by Shackleton Thomas Pottery, Woodstock Farmer's Market and Saucony. Food Tent: A bountiful choice of great food is available to all race participants. Massages: The Strong House Spa is coordinating free, post-race massages. Beer Tent: After the race, each registered finisher over 21 years of age is entitled to one fine craft beer from a choice of Vermont brewers Otter Creek, Long Trail, Harpoon or Magic Hat. Beer will be available for friends and spectators for a price - Positive ID required. Quantities will be significantly increased from 2009 levels to make sure that we don't run out. Race Photos: Action Sports International has been selected as the Official Photographers for the race. Action Sports International will photograph all runners and make these photos available on their website. Stay tuned for an e-mail close to race day that will point you to their site. Remember to wear your bib on the FRONT of your body throughout the race so that the photographers can identify you. 2009 CBHM Photos.
