- Pioneer Stay the Course at Eagle Mountain 5K
-
WHAT’S UP: Pioneer Nation — show your spirit and help your teams by entering this 5K fundraiser for the BHS Athletic Department.
WHEN: Saturday, February 22nd
Registration: 7:30 - 8:30
Race start: 9:00 a.m.
CAUSE AND COSTS: Offset budget cuts by entering this fun, multifaceted event on the scenic Course at Eagle Mountain. Entry fee is $30 for adults, and $20 for 18-under or T-shirt only. Donations are also encouraged to help Pioneer teams “Stay the Course” despite the decline of some public funding. Proceeds will go to the general athletic fund underpinning all sports.
EVENTS, RULES, AWARDS: As in golf and cross-country, low score (or time) wins, and teamwork and accuracy count. We will crown individual champions, but we also plan something for everyone —a “Generations Foursome” division, a “Mixed Couple” division (it’s Valentine’s weekend!), and a “Closest to the Pin” contest.
• The Generations Foursome is a mixed age group: One runner must be 18-under, one 19-29, one 30-44, one 45-older.
• The Mixed Couple can be any age but opposite sexes.
• Closest to the Pin entries will predict a finishing time but can’t run with timing devices to regulate their pace.
A runner may enter all divisions, but can win only one prize, and team prizes will have priority. To honor Pioneer team spirit, the Generations Foursome will win their prize and those runners will be dropped from the individual and Mixed Couple pools if also entered there. The fastest remaining Mixed Couple will win their prize and be dropped from the individual awards. The remaining Top 3 males and Top 3 females will then get individual awards and be dropped from Closest to the Pin contest. The remaining males and females finishing nearest their predicted time will then get awards.
If you check an event box but don’t have or don’t list partners, we will work to match up unattached runners.
A PIONEER NEVER QUITS: We STAY THE COURSE in all circumstances, over tough ground, against strong foes, and with tight resources. Come together to keep the Pioneers on the path!
