Rules & Regulations

Time Constraints

We strongly encourage Fly! Fight! Win! Challenge Series participants to complete the 10K race within 75 minutes (12:04 pace) in order to start the half marathon or marathon before the start line closes.

The half marathon/marathon start line closes promptly at 7:55 a.m. with the first corral starting at 7:30 a.m. Athletes who arrive after the half marathon/marathon start line has closed will not be permitted to run their last race to complete the challenge series and there will be no exceptions to this policy. Please note that the start line for the half marathon/marathon is approximately 400 meters from the finish line of the 10K.

For the 5K, half marathon, and marathon, athletes will have the regular time limits of 2 hours (5K) and 7 hours (half marathon/marathon).

Bib Pick-Up

Bib pick-up will be held at the Health & Fitness Expo located at the Wright State University Nutter Center on September 19th and 20th. Challenge athletes must pick up their bibs by 6:00 p.m. on Friday, September 19th in order to start the 5K race on time at 6:30 pm. There will be no bib pick-up on Saturday, September 21st.

What You Need:

You must present a photo ID and know your bib number in order to pick up your bib. Bib numbers will be issued in late August, and you may either look them up ahead of time, or look them up at the designated Bib Number Look-Up station at the Expo.

If you are unable to attend the Expo yourself, you must make arrangements for a representative to pick up your bib for you. You must fill out and sign the Bib Pick-Up Authorization Form (found here), and your representative must present the completed form, a copy of your photo ID, and their own photo ID. Representatives who do not have these three things will not be able to pick up your bib, no exceptions.

Awards

Your times for each race in the Fly! Fight! Win! Challenge will be combined to give you a total Challenge time. Awards will be presented to the top three male and female finishers for both the half marathon challenge and the marathon challenge.

Fly! Fight! Win! Challenge runners are also eligible for age group awards in each of the three races they are participating in. See the Awards page for more details.
