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.
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.
Weather, Heat & Thunderstorms:
It’s Summer, it can be hot. For races over 5KM we will have a water stop around the half way point. For races 5KM and shorter there will be no water stop. Be sure to carry water if you feel you will need it. We expect that you will use personal judgement in deciding if it is too hot for you to run. The race will be held rain or shine – however, severe weather is a different story. If there is lightning or 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. We have only called off one race in 15 years of ESTRS. Due to persistent lighting that year we did not run the race but we did gather under the pavilion for a social hour, eating the 100+ pizzas that were delivered! Don’t send us home with all those pizzas!
