Time Limit - Runners must maintain a 15-minute pace and be at the 5 mile mark by 9:35am. Runners arriving at the 5 mile mark after 9:35am will not be allowed to complete the entire course. Officials will direct them to turn at 14th Street and proceed directly to the 8 mile mark and then on to the Finish Line. If you are directed to proceed directly to the Finish Line at the 5 mile mark you will not receive an official 10-mile race time or result.
Seeding - The online registration system asks for your best 10K or longer distance race time in the past year. If you have not run a race in the past year then you will be asked for your estimated Ten-Miler finish time.
Scoring - Must have a race number to start and run. Attach the timing tag to your shoe and cross all rubberized timing mats or you will be disqualified. Any runner who does not complete the entire course will be disqualified.
ATM Policy - The race will take place rain or shine. No race day pick-up. Entry fees are non-refundable.
WheelchairPolicy - Handcycles are allowed however they are not scored. Push rim wheelchairs are scored only.
Bib Policy - Swapping is Not Allowed - Any unregistered runner that competes with a registered runner’s bib number will be subject to disqualification. If the bib number is associated with a team then that team will be disqualified from competition. ATM officials are talking a firm position on handing-off bib numbers because of liability issues and the adverse impacts on scoring, results, and awards.
