       A PREDICTION RUN

How it works: Winners are the first five runners to cross the finish line AFTER MIDNIGHT.  Course opens at 9:30pm and runners decide when to start running based on their estimate of how long it will take them to cover the 15K (9.3mile) course.  (Example:  If you think it will take you an hour and 15 minutes to run the course, start running at 10:45pm when the countdown clock at the start reads -1:15:00).  To make it fair NO WATCHES OR TIMING DEVICES ALLOWED!  Runners will however be chip timed.
