Register in person between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. Wednesday, November 21, at the Saratoga Hilton Hotel. The race will be timed by ARE Event Productions using the ChronoTrack B-Tag. This is a small and flat chip that comes affixed to the back of the bib. Runners must wear their bib on their outer-most layer and it must not be altered in any way. They cannot flatten, bend, nor crease their bib. These chips do not get returned, making for a smooth and easy finishing process. Results will be immediately available at www.AREEP.com following the event.
Race starts on Broadway, into Skidmore, and finishes on North Broadway. This is a moderately challenging course, including both hills and downgrades. Medals will be given to top 3 m/f overall.
