Race/Course Information:

There are three events in the Daffodil run.  First: at 8:30 there is a Free Kid's run (children 10 and under). This event is run inside the park on a grassy field. All the kids get a nice medal when they finish. 

At 8:45 the 5k run and 10k runs start on Penn Valley Drive. The 5k Walk starts at 8:50am inside the park on the bicycle path. Runner will stay on the road for one mile and turn right on Spenceville Road.  Walkers will walk on dirt path to Ready Springs School and then continue around R. S school and then back onto the dirt path back to WGP to the walkers Finish Line.  One lane of Spenceville Road will be closed for the race  There is a water stop at the 5k /turn around for walkers and 5k runners.

The 10k runners will continue on Spenceville Road, cross Indian Springs Road, and continue another 1/2 mile to the second water stop/turn around. Due to the lane closure and it's resulting disruption of local traffic, 10k runners must be able to run at a 13 minute mile pace minimum. There will be a  18 minute "cut off" at the 5k turnaround. 10K runners will return on Spenceville Road to Penn Valley Drive. Runners and walkers must stay in the same lane they used going out when they return.  CHP and Nevada Country Officers and Volunteers will be controlling the course.

Runners will return to the park on Penn Valley Drive. Walkers will return on the bicycle path. 

On the course, every mile is marked.

Finish Line/Awards ceremony:

There are separate finish areas for runners and walkers. The 5k walk is not timed.

UNREGISTERED RUNNERS MUST NOT GO THROUGH THE FINISH CHUTE. RUNNERS WHO HAVE PREVIOUS FINISHED SHOULD NOT GO THROUGH THE CHUTE AGAIN WITH FRIENDS WHO FINISH LATER. These actions create errors in the scoring system and cause delay in the award ceremony. The Award Ceremony will start when all 5k runners have finished and results have been verified.  10k results will be announced shortly after.

Refreshments:

There will be water, fruit and pastries at the finish line for all participants.
