ASK THE RACE DIRECTOR LIVE 6PM THURSDAY NIGHT https://youtube.com/live/rlvIJ1Q71x0?feature=share
Your Athlete Guide is up to date and ready for you! Take some time and look over all of the details for your event! Our Half Marathon and 10k will notice a small change around Mile 2 (you run straight to Bladen then right on College to the circle, instead of Northwest). The Guide can also be found at www.NaptownRun.com
BUT our 5k should REALLY take a look. A whole new course for you this year, so that you join with the excitement of the other runners! And be sure to note that you START at 740, so be there and be ready to go with everyone else at 730!!
We've also got some exciting things lined up for the Holiday themed run, with Santa Hats for all and a visit by the Big Man himself!!! We also have a WHITE ELEPHANT gift exchange. Bring a present (under $10) and leave it under the tree for another runner. Wrapped, unwrapped (though let's face it, they are better wrapped), whatever.
The only thing we ask if that IF YOU BRING A PRESENT, THEN YOU CAN TAKE A PRESENT. We hope that everyone enjoys this and that everyone who wants to participate can do so (honor system here folks....).
