Where/When?: May 8, 2010
All events start at the Edwards Community Center, located at the corner of Panther and Dominguez, in the City of Santa Maria. Go east on Main Street from US101, past Suey and then left on Panther Drive (formerly Freemont). Ample parking at the high school and on Panther. Do not enter from the north via Donovan Road.
The registration area is open at 6:30 AM on raceday to pick up your race packet. NO RACE DAY REGISTRATION BECAUSE OF CHIP TIMING.
All events start promptly at 8:00 AM. Strollers and nice, happy dogs are permitted on the walk and run.
10K Run:
The 10K run is an out and back course. The start is at the Edwards Community Center and heads north on Panther to Bull Canyon Road. Runners continue north on Bull Canyon towards 166. The turn-around point is a few 100 feet shy of the 166. The 10K is for runners only, not walkers.
5K Run:
The 5K run is also an out and back course and starts along with the 10K. The turn-around point is about 1/2 way up Bull Canyon.
5K Walk:
This is the same course as the 5K run and for those who will walk the entire course. If you have the desire to jog or run a little along the course, then please sign up for the 5K run. We no longer have a 10K walk. This requires Bull Canyon Road to be closed longer than required. We need to re-open Bull Canyon by 9:30 AM.
