Ford's Colony Is About to Sell Out!

Update: Yesterday was a big day for Ford's Colony race entries. There are now only 15 spots open in the 5k and 23 spots open in the 10k. These will most likely be gone in the next several days. If you have any friends planning to sign up, they better do it now. Assuming we don't fill up this week, the prices go up five dollars on Friday.

Race Cap: There is a chance we may add more entries for each race, but this is not a guarantee. We need to discuss this with Ford's Colony, because the parking is limited. We also need to discuss with Finish Strong, to ensure there are adequate chips for the race. Finally, we need to obtain additional race numbers, and adjust our shirt order. In other words, if you want to guarantee your spot, sign up now.

Wait List: When we fill up, we will create a waiting list until we have confirmed the actually number of runners we can handle. More details will follow on this.

Age Groups: The 5k is short on men under 30, and women over 50. Sign up a friend, and have a great chance at an age group award.

Volunteers: I want to make another push for volunteers. I really want to see our runners run, but I also would love to see your family and friends on the course passing out water, helping with race day registration, and helping to clear the course after the race. Please encourage people to volunteer.

Medoc: Don't forget that Ford's Colony runners get 10% off their Medoc registration. Visit the From a 10k to 10-miler section for more information.

    New Update:

    5k = 10 spots left
    10k = 19 spots left

    The following age groups have less than three runners now (meaning you are highly likely to get an award by running).

    5k Female 60+ (2)
    5k Male <20 (2)
    5k Male 20-29 (1)
    5k Male 60+ (2)

    10k Female <20 (2)
    10k Female 60+ (0)
    10k Male <20 (2)

    my wife has signed up for a volunteer for both the Ford's Colony run and Medoc. Should she just show up about an hour before the race and get instructions then?

    Brian, I will be sending out an email this weekend to all volunteers to give them more information. You mentioned your wife signed up to volunteer at both races. We currently do not show any volunteers in both races.

    What is her first name? Did she sign up using Eventbrite?

    Thanks!
