Run
RUN SPONSORED BY FOOT TRAFFIC
Looking for a great run in January? We are excited to be offering both an indoor 3k and outdoor 5k on Sunday, January 18th! The indoor run will be on the concourse of the Memorial Coliseum, approximately 9 laps in waves of 200 runners departing the start line every 15 minutes at 10 AM. The 5k outdoors is for those wanting to brave the elements. Outdoor runners will start at 9 AM, followed by those choosing to walk at 9:30 AM.
Sign up on line, or at one of Foot Traffic 3 locations, or day of race.
Additional Information:
It could be a cool or wet day. We will gather in the festival area downstairs in Memorial Coliseum beginning at 8 AM. You can buy your ticket and warm up for the run in the festival area. At 8:45 we will begin to move upstairs to the MC canopy area. At 8:55 we will move east to Court Court Way to the starting line. The 5k is out doors consisting of 4 loops around the Rose Quarter super block. There is slight incline on the north side of the course and a nice downhill on the south side.
Regarding the 3k indoor waves, we will start with a group of runners who profess to be able to run under a 7 minute per mile pace. The second wave of runners will be the 7 to 8 minute pace group and we will continue up the pace ladder.
Runners, this is a community event. It is not chipped timed, there will be a clock for you to check your time, but there will be no results posted. We are kicking off the season with a fun event in the warmest of Palm Springs. Let us all enjoy this day. ( If any 5k runners want to toe the line for a 3k, you can do so at no additional charge). After the run, join the festival for more fun. Concessions will be available for purchase in the exhibition hall.
