Frequently Asked Questions

Will “same day” registration be available?
No. Due to the addition of chip timing, pre-registration for the 2007
race will be required. Regretfully we will not be able to accommodate
participants who want to register on race day.

When will I receive my timing chip?
Runners will be given timing chips between 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 a.m. on race day.
NOTE: Walkers will not be timed but will have a clock at the end of their racing
chute to record their time if so desired.

I pre-registered, how do I get my race packet?
Pre-registered runners and walkers may pick up their packets between
7:30 – 8:00 a.m. on race day or Saturday, May 19, 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.
305 Queen Ann Street (La Plata Town Hall)

What if it rains on race day?
The Run/Walk for Wellness will be held “rain or shine.”

How long does it take to get race results and how/where can I get a copy?
Race results are announced shortly after the last runner has crossed the finish line.
Awards will be presented after the last walker has crossed the finish line. Race results
will be posted on this website within 24 hours and will appear the local newspaper
the week following the race.

How is the race timed and how quickly will we see our results?
We are pleased to announce that the 2007 race will be timed by Charm City Run
utilizing the AMB i.t. electronic scoring system and results will be available
within 30 minutes or sooner of the last runner crossing the finish line.

What is the course like/how do I get a course map?
The 3.1 mile course (USATF Certification Pending) runs through the
historic town of La Plata and does contain a few sharp hills.
A detailed course map is available by clicking here.

Can my small child walk with me for free or do I have to
pay to register him/her?
Children 5 and under can accompany family members for free but if you want
them to have a t-shirt, you will need to register them. Please note that the
smallest size shirt we print is adult small, so they would be growing into it for years.
(Parents or legal guardians must sign a waiver releasing Civista and all event
sponsors from liability).

Are baby strollers/joggers allowed in the run?
Yes we are happy to accommodate runners or walkers who want to participate
in this way We only ask that when the time comes to line up for the shotgun start,
that those with strollers/joggers are at the back of the pack to help make
our race start a safe one.

Can I bring my dog to walk or run with me?
Well-behaved dogs are welcome to enjoy the race from the sidelines.
