What is the age minimum for the Austin 10K Plus?
All participants must be at least 16 years of age to compete. Those under the age of 18 on race day will have a parental release and waiver form required to be signed at packet pick-up

How does the relay team work? How do I get back to the finish line?
Relay teams must designate one person to run the first half of the race. The person running the second half will then be transported to the midway line by race staff. When the relay partner arrives, either a timing chip or bracelet is exchanged, and the second runner finishes the race. The first runner is then transported back to the finish line.

Do I have to register online?
Yes. We try to keep the entry fee for the event as low as possible. Having registration be 100% online allows us to reduce our costs, thereby keeping the entry fee low. You may pay online using a credit card or debit card.

Are ipod's permitted?

Yes, headphones and mp3 players are permitted on the 10k+ course.

If I am injured, sick or otherwise not able to participate in the Austin 10K Plus, can I get my entry fee refunded, transferred to another individual, or rolled over to the next year?
Registration is non-refundable and cannot be rolled over to a future race.

Are there any discounts available for the Austin 10K Plus?

What is the difference between chip time and clock (gun) time?
Clock time is the time it takes from the official start of the race to when you cross the finish line. Chip time is the time it takes you to go from the start line to the finish line, regardless of when you cross the start line.

How do I find out about race changes due to inclement weather?
The Austin 10K Plus will run, rain or shine.
