The routes are along a paved road around Hains Point alongside the river. This is about as fast and flat as you can get. The 5k is out-and-back once, and the 10k is twice.

Back of the Pack Pace time for this course: 11:00
What is the Back of the Pack (BOTP)?  It is not a cut off time, it is actually a series we have geared towards people who average higher than the BOTP listed above.  This allows runners of similar pace to compete with each other and get series points. Visit Bishop’s events FAQ for more information about this and other questions you may have.  https://bishopsevents.com/series-faqs/

Race officials may delay, change or postpone the event due to weather conditions.  All registered runners will be notified via email of any changes.
