At 5:00 pm volunteers began race set up along Hurlbut St, on the southeast side of Norwood Park. Soon participants arrived and bustled through check-in, packet pickup, and over to our starting areas. Greetings and last-minute instructions were provided to 5-Km featured event participants. Serving as our official race starter, Mark Blaszyzck, 30+ year Norwood Park resident and Riis Park Strider called the field
"To your mark,"
then
blasted the air-horn
at 7:32:20.29 pm. Runners burst westbound, along Hurlbut Street for their two-lap race.
Five minutes later, 132 meters farther west on Hurlbut Street Mark sounded the air-horn again for the start of our 1-Mile Lunar Orbit, precisely at 7:37:20.44 pm.
