The Run Around Egg Hill
10-miler and Relay Race

Date: Sunday, March 30, 2008

Time: Race starts at 2:30 p.m.. Race day registration 1:00-2:00 p.m.. Kid's races at 5:30 p.m.

Location: Spring Mills, Pennsylvania. Located along Rt. 45 approximately 20 miles east of State College. Race begins and ends at the Gregg Township Elementary School. Follow orange signs from Rt. 45. Route follows country roads around the mountain known as Egg Hill. Relay legs are 3.0, 5.0, and 2.0 miles in length.

Race beneficiary: The race will benefit the Penns Valley Area School District track and cross country programs.

Categories and prizes-

Solo run: Male and female divisions in ages 19 and under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60+.

Medley relay (2 or 3 runners): Male, female, and mixed divisions as follows-

Open- any age mix

Senior- Ages must average 40 or older. 3-person teams must have a combined age of 120 or more, 2-person must have a combined age of 80 or more. As an example, a team with ages of 30, 40, and 50 would qualify.

Junior- Ages must average 17 or under. 3-person teams must have a combined age of 51 or less, 2-person must have a combined age of 34 or less. As an example, a team with ages of 48, 2 and 1 would qualify, but probably would not place very well.

Family- This category is for those running families who would like to compete together. Teams may consist of 2 or 3 runners and be reasonably closely related, ie. siblings, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, or first cousins. Let's not have any ringers who claim to be a "third cousin twice removed". That's what the open category is for. There is also no separation of male, female or mixed in this category.

Prizes: A race tee-shirt is guaranteed for all preregistered runners (does not include kids' race), as well as for volunteers. This year, runners may opt out of receiving a tee-shirt and save $6 on their registration fee. Additional shirts may be available for late and race day registrants, and limited numbers may be for sale if there are extras. There will be trophies for the overall male and female solo winners, and trophies for first place solo age category winners and the overall male, female, and mixed relay winners (with a trophy for each team member). There will be medals/ribbons for second and, in some cases third, place in each category. This includes individual medals/ribbons for team runners.

Kids' Race and Activities: There will be be shorter kids' races in the area of the school for children under the age of 12. These will be held at around 5:30 and lengths will be 400 meters for ages 7 and under, 400 meters for ages 8 and 9, and 800 meters for ages 10 and 11. There will be ribbons for the top three male and female winners in each age category. We are also planning to have activities for children during the main race, and limited concessions will be available as well as restroom facilities.

Registration fees: Registration fees are as follows-

10-mile solo runners: preregistration until March 23 is $20. Late registration or at the race is $25.
Relay teams: preregistration until March 23 is $12 per runner. Late registration or at the race is $15 per runner.
Both solo runners and team runners may opt out of receiving a race tee-shirt and subtract $6 from their registration fee.
