BarnArts Race Around the Lake

Barnard, VT, USA
22 May, 2016 (Sun)

Running

5 km, 10 km

About the event

A 5K and 10K run around Silver Lake in Barnard, VT. The race is a fundraiser for youth programming through BarnArts, a community art organization. The race is designed to connect community members of all ages through a healthy and fun spring activity. 120 people came out for the inaugural race last May, enjoying a 3-mile route around Silver Lake, a delicious lunch and live music at Silver Lake State Park. On the heels of that success, we have extended the original route to a full 5K, and we are adding a 10K Run option that will take runners along some of the scenic dirt roads of Barnard. Both races will start and end inside of Silver Lake State Park, and there will be a post-race celebration afterwards including live music and a free lunch catered by the Barnard Inn for race participants. A short kids fun run will also take place during this post-race time.

Even better this year!

Last year's RACE AROUND THE LAKE helped us raise money for BarnArts Summer Youth Theater Institute. We look forward to an even better event with you again this year!


Timing

This year, we're working with BE GOOD SPORTS to professionally time the race. BE GOOD SPORTS features an advanced RFID chip-timing system that reliably achieves 100% read rates using economical and reusable RFID tags. And because they're reusable, we can keep race overhead costs down and keep chips out of landfills.

Your packet will include two timing tags that are programmed specifically to you and the race you’re in. As you cross the finish line, the timing antennas read these chips and the timing software records your time. To ensure accurate timing, before the race you will put one tag on the outside shoelace of each shoe: Untie your shoe, put your shoelace through the hole in the tag, and re-tie as usual. After the race, you’ll untie your shoes, slip the tags off, and return them to the bins marked Shoe Tag Return.

You'll also receive a number bib and four safety pins in your packet. Use the four pins to attach your bib to the front of your jersey or shorts—not on your back. Use all four pins so that the bib remains visible as you run the course and cross the finish line.

Preliminary results will be available at the race. Final results will be posted at begoodsports.com and the BarnArts web site.
