WAVE CORRALS

In an effort to promote safety, the Turkey ROCK Trot will be using an assigned wave system for the start. If you wish to run or walk with others at the event, select the wave of your slowest person for all registrants. Note: You may move to a slower wave than assigned, but you cannot move to a faster wave than assigned. Remember your time does not start until you cross the timing mats.

• • Wave #1 – For those of you faster than 8-minute pace per mile. No strollers or dogs.
  • Wave #2 – For those between 8-10 minute pace per mile. No strollers or dogs.
  • Wave #3 – For those between 10-12 minute pace per mile. No strollers or dogs.
  • Wave #4 – For those slower than 12-minute pace per mile. No strollers or dogs.
  • Wave #5 – All leisurely walkers, strollers and well mannered K9 pals. Party in the back!

The number of waves are at the events discretion for safety and enjoyment of all participants and may change as needed.
