Everything you need to know about the race:
Date and Time:
The 2019 evolution of the Warrior 196 Memorial 5K Run/Walk will be on Saturday, 28 September, 2018, starting at 9 AM,
on the campus of Eagan High School, in Eagan, Minnesota. Here’s the address:
Eagan High School
4185 Braddock Trail
Eagan, MN 55123
Vendors/Information Tables:
As with past years, we will have a small expo of local, regional, and hopefully, national organizations of both commercial and nonprofit status. Expect local chapters of Beyond the Yellow Ribbon (Rosemount, and Eagan) to have a table, The Apple Valley American Legion, veteran support organization Operation 23 to Zero, TNO (The Next Objective), The Support Our Troops Haunted House, HOOAH, Friends of the Brave, Wear Blue, Team RWB, US Army and USMC recruiting station personnel, and other organizations.
New for 2019:
The Warrior 196 Memorial 5K will have race awards immediately after the last participants finish the course. After the race, please stay around awhile, check out some of the information tables, and spend some time with the Warrior 196 ‘family’. We will have awards for overall male and female champions, age group champions, and team/group champions (based on average times per group). We are also implementing team/group registration for 2019. If you lead (captain) or are part of an organizational team/running group, consider registering as a team/group for discounted registration fees.
Race Course:
The 5 kilometer (3.1 mile) race course will begin and end on the campus of Eagan High School, with the start and finish line near the main entrance to Eagan High School. The majority of the course is routed along bike/walking paths around the general neighborhood perimeter of Eagan High School. The course design is family and kid (stroller) friendly. Use of headphones are discouraged as they can be distractive toward one’s awareness of surroundings. Though the race director is dog-friendly, participants are discouraged from bringing pets, unless they are have a therapy or support dog.
