Pi Day River Rotation - Half Marathon and 5K

Trail run on a smooth, fast course with a few hills sprinkled in for fun.

The Pi Miler, starting at 8 am, is 2 loops of different distances, totaling 3.14 miles (just over a 5K).

The River Rotation Half Marathon, starting at 9 am, is a 13.14 mile three-loop course, alternating between counter clockwise and clockwise directions.

There will be a single aid station located at the trail head. Runners in the half-marathon will pass the aid station twice, at 5-mile intervals.

Water, sports drink and fruit will be available at the aid station.

After the race, enjoy some homemade pie at the finish line!

New this year: chip timing!

Finishers of the River Rotation Half will receive an outdoor, durable, magnet with the date and their time.

Wait, what time does my race start?

The Pi Miler starts at 8 am.

The Pi Day River Rotation Half Marathon begins at 9 am.

Where do the races start? Where do I check in?

Both races start at the gate on the levy.

Check in and the finish line is a bit Southeast of there in the field.

ALL runners should check in and out of the race.

Check-in starts by 7am.

What about parking?

The parking past the levy will not have access from 7:45 a.m. until 8:20 a.m. during the Pi Miler start and again from 8:45 a.m. –9:20 a.m. for the beginning of the Half Marathon.

Both races start at the levy gate into the park, run through the parking lot and on to the trails. Please be mindful of that when parking.

Can I run with headphones?

Yes and No. Headphones are allowed, but if you use them, you can only have one ear bud in so that you can hear if a course director or fellow runner needs to tell/warn you of something. If you choose to ignore this rule and go off course...

Can I bring my non-human companion?

The River Trails are not that wide, we ask that if you can leave your pet at home, please do so.

If you do decide to run with a four legged pal (or a parrot?!?), please make sure they are -on a leash and -do not get in other runners’ ways or both other participants/volunteers.

Will there be photography?

Photography on the trail and finish line will again be by Mile 90 Photography! http://www.mile90.com/Race-Photos/Pi-Day-2014

How will I know my finish time?

We are using chip timing this year with RaceDay Timing Solutions for both races.

What kind of pie?

All kinds! Celestial Bakery will be back again providing us with yummy cream, fruit, and vegan pies! And of course plenty of homemade pies. There will be pumpkin pie too.

If you have a favorite that will help you get to the finish line, just on our Facebook page and let us know!

Swag?

We will have Pi Day sweatshirts and the opportunity to purchase extra and/or the long/short sleeve version of the race shirt during registration on Ultra Signup. Limited numbers will be available on race day. We will also have the very awesome Lawrence Trail Hawk t-shirts available.

It run on trails? Will I get lost?

The Lawrence River Trails loop around, so you should be fine. In the months/weeks leading up to the races the LTHs will do training runs running the courses, check out their Facebook page or the main page here for dates/times. Or ask, someone is always up for a run!
