There is ample parking in the area. Parking lots will be marked with signs. (You may park in the following parking lots: Municipal Building, First United Methodist Church, First Baptist Church, etc.)
Start/Finish
The race begins and ends at the intersection of East Main and Fifth Street near downtown Batesville.
Start Time
In order to minimize contact among the runners we will be doing a staggered start beginning at 8:00 AM. Runners may start anytime at their discretion between 8:00 and 8:15 AM.
Timing
Chip timing will be provided by Mac’s Timing Service.
The Route
The route has been changed to a circular route to avoid face to face runner encounters along the course. The course is about 5% long due to this change. The route is not closed to vehicular traffic.
