Do not wait until the last minute to verify team uniforms. All team members must be present for team uniform verification.

All competitors are responsible for being at the starting line no later than 6:40 am with their competition bib number and age/gender “back” number properly affixed. All USATF Masters Championship runners will start together exactly at 7:00 am. Awards Ceremony: On site in the Festival Lot after the one-hour Protest Period Drug Testing: All competitors entered in the USATF Masters 10 Mile Championships are eligible for “in-competition” drug testing. Any questions regarding prescriptions or other over-the-counter medication should be directed to the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) at 1-888-233-0393. If the 2023 USATF Masters 5 km Championships is selected for drug testing, prize money checks will be mailed following our receipt of the drug testing results. The race has no control over when the results of the drug tests are released, and we cannot release the prize money until we have official results as it can directly affect the distribution amounts. Additional Drug Testing information is available here.
