Can’t Make It?
If you are not going to make the race, you do not need to notify us, we will know you are not running if you do not check in.
Parking:
Firstly, parking is a bit limited, PLEASE TRY TO CARPOOL! There is some parking right at the Jensen Lake Trailhead, however most people will park at our overflow parking location – Chapel Hills Church 4888 Pilot Knob Road | Eagan, MN 55122, this is 1/4 Mile North of the Jensen Lake Trailhead on Pilot Knob Road – See it on the map HERE https://goo.gl/maps/tiOl8 – park at Chapel Hills and walk the bike path South on Pilot Knob to the Jensen Lake Shelter / Start-Finish Area, its easy! Please note that some spots will be held back at the Jensen Trailhead for non-race-related day users.
Check-In:
Check-in starts at 5:00 PM – Race Starts at 6:30 PM. We understand that work days can be a little hectic, if you arrive after the start of the race you will not be able to pick up your number / officially start the race, however, you are welcome to get your sticker, go out for a run on your own and join us after.
Weather – ESTRS Races Are Hot Weather Races:
Summer in Minnesota is often hot and humid. We have had races with temperatures in the low 90’s. For races over 5KM we will have a water stop around the halfway point. For races 5KM and shorter there will be no water stop, but plenty off water at the finish. Be sure to carry water if you feel you will need it. Adjusting your pace and race plan accordingly, along with proper hydration, and electrolyte balance is key. We expect that you will use personal judgement in deciding if it is too hot for you to run.
Weather – Rain and Severe Weather:
ESTRS races are held rain or shine – however, severe weather is a different story. If there is severe weather we will delay the start of the race. Runners will be notified of the delay via public address at the start line / in the start area and asked to shelter under the pavilion or in their vehicles. If severe weather persists we will call off the event.
Race Numbers:
Bib number assignments will be available mid-morning on the day of the race. You will find your bib number HERE https://www.estrs.com/2025-estrs-lebanon-7mi-bib-number-assignments/
NO Race Day Registration:

Bring ID:
Be sure to bring your ID when you check in / pick up your race number if you care to have a beer after – you will be issued a wristband at this time – you can also bring your ID later but before is preferred.
