Each team must complete their team roster 7 days prior to the race. All team members will be required to sign a race waiver and complete a short race information questionnaire prior to the race. We will send your team members the race waiver and questionnaire(s) after you have submitted your 6 person roster.

The Black Walnut Trailhead…. see map.
What time does the race start?
VARIES… it will depend on your team’s average pace per mile. The race begins with the slowest teams at 6:00am. The fastest teams will leave at 10:00am. Teams will leave at thirty minute intervals between 6:00 and 10:00am. The finish line closes at 8:30pm. After you complete your team roster, we will send you your team’s start times.
What is the slowest average pace a team can run?
Teams must be able to average 10:30 per mile to complete the Midwest Active Katy80. You may have team members that run slower than that, but the team’s overall average should be at or below the 10:30 per mile pace.
What type and how many vehicles do we need?
Cars, mini-vans and passenger vans are all OK to use. Each team is limited to 2 vehicles. Prohibited on the course are 1. More than 2 vehicles 2. Large profile vehicles like RV’s and mini-buses. 3. Limos. Trust us, this may look cool, but it’s a bad idea.

Of course! And it will be put on by the Augusta Brewery. There will be food, craft beer and a live band! Friends and family members are encouraged to join you and your team members at the Augusta Brewery for the awards ceremony and party. Go here to learn more about the Augusta Brewery!
