In addition to breaking records, the 10k is also a place where recreational runners can become a member of the “Sub :40 Club.” Participants who run the event in 39:59 or faster earn an exclusive piece of swag celebrating their accomplishment at the finish, according to organizers.
The event has 26 starting waves, 12 of which are seeded, meaning they require proof of a qualifying time from a previous race or run. Faster participants are encouraged to sign up for one of the seeded waves to surround themselves with runners hoping to cross the finish line at a similar pace.
The race takes place on Saturday, April 20.
Anyone looking for more information or to sign up for the race can do so at Sports Backers’ website .
