Prediction Run FAQ
What is the course?
What the heck is a prediction run?
A prediction run is entirely different from other races that you've run in the past. Rather than finishing first or running the fastest, the object of a prediction run is to finish as close to a certain time as possible. In the case of the Howard County Striders prediction runs, the goal is to finish as close to 4:00pm as possible. One way the Striders prediction runs differ from many other runs is that you get to start whenever you want - whoever finishes closest to 4:00pm wins. Oh, and one important thing, you CANNOT use any sort of timing device. Also, no baby strollers, iPods, headphones or animals.
Can I use any sort of electronic device (i.e. watch, heart rate monitor, sundial, car, etc)?
No, that would make it much too easy.
How do I sign up in advance?
You can't - race day registration only. Registration begins at 2:30pm.
Registration will be limited to 200 participants.
How long is the race?
The Resolution Run prediction run is an 8K.
