The "Race"
This "race" will begin at Sample Gates, and end at Dunn Meadow. Yes, that's it! The shortest race you'll ever be a part of. When you arrive you will have to "register" by logging the log book and picking up a runner's number and attaching it to your shirt. After the race is over we will have a quick "awards" ceremony (group photo) and then it's over! Like most 5Ks and 10Ks, you don't have to run to participate. Both walkers and runners are welcome! Please treat this like a real race and dress appropriately. The more realistic it looks, the better reactions we'll get from everyone who's not involved.
Pre-Registration
To give us an idea of how many people plan to attend, please let us know you're coming by registering here: http://dft.ba/-MicroMarathon. We will also use this list to email out any important updates regarding the event.

Leap Year Record
This year Groundspeak has challenged the geocaching community to break the record of number of accounts that log a cache on a single day. To help them reach their goal, we are hosting a fun event for anyone and everyone!
