Since our first run last year, we've billed ourselves as a walker-friendly 5K. We are that indeed. Our trail is wide enough to accommodate both our walkers and runners with this year's two-way traffic.
We will release the 5K and 10K runners first and then, shortly after, release the 5K walkers. This is to spread out the runners from the walkers for safety's sake. As you see at http://www.igroyalrun.com/course_maps.html, the 5K route goes out to Moorehead Park and then returns on the same route; this means that at some point the runners will be coming back on the very route the walkers are still going out on.
We encourage walkers to socialize, stop to read the trivia along the way, and enjoy the scenery along the route. We also ask that you keep a heads-up for the runners who are competing on the way back. Give them plenty of birth on half the trail. It'll be a small part of the walk but a very important part.
We appreciate your participation in this year's Royal Run!
