Saturday 20 July 2002 on Loudoun Street in Winchester, VA. Winchester is approximately 12 miles west of Berryville, 25 miles north of Front Royal, 25 miles south of Martinsburg, and 75 miles west of Washington, DC. The racing starts at 8:30 AM; see below for a full list of heat times.
7:00 AM to 8:15 AM in front of the Old Frederick County Courthouse, on the Loudoun Street Mall between Boscawen and Piccadilly Streets-- right by the finish line. Check out these maps on MapQuest, MapBlast, and/or TopoZone. Loudoun Street is closed to traffic in the mall area, but parking is available on city streets nearby. There are a number of one-way streets in downtown Winchester, so it might be a good idea to have a map handy.
The USATF certified (#VA95003JS) one mile course is point-to-point, starting, um, on Loudoun Street exactly one mile south of the finish line & registration area! Please allow yourself a little extra time to walk or jog to the start before your heat. There are no turns on the course. Three-quarters of the route is paved and one-quarter of it is brick & concrete, and the road will be closed to traffic. The estimated starting elevation is 722 feet above sea level; the ending elevation (and low point) is around 708 feet; and the maximum elevation is 745 feet, about 0.6 miles into the course.
We'll have cash prizes for the overall winners, awards in open age groups (number depends on participation), trophies for the top teams, ribbons for walkers and children, awards for the top two male & female walkers, and random drawings (you must be present to win!).
