Pre-Race Bib and T-Shirt Pickup: Runners are encouraged to pick up their t-shirts and bibs prior to race day to avoid waiting in lines before the race.

Race Location: The 5k race (at 9:00 am) begins outside the BYU Outdoor Track located just south of the Lavell Edwards Stadium. The 10k race (at 9:10 am) will start at 150 E 800 N, right in front of Brick Oven. If you are running the 10k race and plan to attend opening ceremonies at the outdorr track, you will need to walk/jog/run quickly to the 10k starting point immediatel following the opening ceremonies.

Race Distances:
The length of the 5k is 3.24 miles long
The length of the 10k is 6.16 miles

Race Time: The starting cannon for the 5k race will be fired at 9:00 A.M. and at 9:10 A.M. for the 10k race on March 17, 2012 by a member of the Lee family (Note: This is a change from previous years! In the past the 10k has started first but in order to facilitate the flow of runners we are starting the 5k first this year.). Runners that have registered previously and need to pick up bibs and shirts should be at the Outdoor Track a minimum of 30 minutes before the race to warm up, get their bibs, and grab their Rex Lee Run T-shirt. The T-shirt sizes run large, so please order accordingly and get there early to pick up desired sizes. T-shirts come in XL, L, M, S, and YL. Again, if you are planning on registrering the day of the race, registration is only open from 7:00 A.M. to 8:40 A.M.

Race Timing Equipment: We are again using an electronic timing system this year. Participants will wear an electronic chip on their shoe during the race. This timer will activate the moment a participant steps over the start line and crosses the finish line, so please keep back from the line until the race has started to ensure accurate timing. These chips must be returned at the finish line (there will be volunteers to help you) or mailed to the BYU Cancer Research Center, E-181 Benson Building, Provo UT 84602.

Family Fun: Music, entertainment, and Stadium Seating to watch runners make their finish around the track. Bring the whole family for a good time and to support your runners.

Strollers and Small Children: Strollers are admissible in the race, but please stay to the back of the starting pack so no one is hit or injured during the start. Both races are very crowded to start off because of the large turnout, please be courteous. Small children are also admissible and encouraged to participate but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times. The Rex Lee Run is not responsible for unaccompanied small children.
