F.A.Q. Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need to be a member of USATF to compete? No! Everyone is welcome to come out to challenge themselves in the historic distance of a 1 mile road race! If you are a member of USATF, you get a $10 discount on registration, and if you are a current 2014 member of the Southern California Association, you can compete for prize money in the Elite races.

2) Do I need to be a member of USATF to compete in the Elite races? No! You just need speed! For the Elite Women’s race, your mile time should be under 6:00. For the Elite Masters Men’s your mile time should be under 5:30. And for the Elite Open Men’s your mile time should be under 5:00. Finish first, and you win a gold medal! However, to win the prize money you do need to be a current, 2014 member of USATF Southern California Association.

3) I have lost my USATF member number. How can I look it up?: You can find your current, 2014 membership number at the USATF website, Member Number Lookup. If you need to renew your membership, or join, you can do it at USATF Membership.

4) What if I want to run in more than one event? Can I compete in the race walk, and the road race? Yes! Extra events are just $5 more. We will give you another chip and bib for your second event.

5) Is there a separate check in for Elite or Race Walkers? Yes! We will have separate registration tables for elite runners and race walkers. Masters and Seniors race walkers and runners will be given tags to identify them on the course. Elite women 40+ will need to declare whether they are running in the Open or Masters race.

6) Do I need to wear a shirt in the Elite USATF races? Yes! For the Elite USATF races we need runners to wear shirts so the age identification tags can be worn on the back (see the above note).

7) How do identify myself as runner/race walkers/elite at registration? All participants are registered in the same way. Your race category will be based on what event you start in. If you are elite, start with the elite races. If you are a race walker, participate in the race walk competitions.
