Think you can predict how fast you can run a set route? This race isn't about how fast you can go, but how accurately you can predict your finish time. Join us for our annual Predictive Run, where sometimes losers are winners and vice-versa!Entrants in the predictive run must go without any timepieces (watches, phones, etc). At 8:30am, the President will distribute a map of the secret ~10K route to all the runners. After runners have been given a chance to study the map and consider distance, elevation profile, weather, and navigation challenges (the course will not be marked), the entrants will individually submit their predicted completion times to the nominal race director. The run will start sometime between 8:45 and 9:00 depending on that morning's level of disorganization. The "winner" of the event will be the runner or runners who are closest to their predicted finishing time (absolute values ok). There is no entry fee for this competition, and this is reflected in the awards (official awards are limited to club members, but everyone can compete for bragging rights). :P
Following the run, or around 10:30 for those who choose to forego the run, we’ll have our annual potluck picnic by the creek. The club will provide drinks.
Please note that we will meet at the lower parking lot this week (https://maps.app.goo.gl/5tkkX3p98kzw5WrL6).
There is a $6 charge for parking in the lot closest to the picnic area. The pay station is near the entrance to the parking lot (https://maps.app.goo.gl/yj1fRYZ1u7zk35A37).
