Greetings, Hound Dog Runners!
We are one day away from the Hound Dog Half! We hope your training has gone well and you are ready to run on Saturday, January 20th! We are looking forward to seeing you bright and early!
We have had some crazy winter weather here in Elkmont this past week
but Saturday morning is looking to be crisp and cool (ok – maybe cold).
The forecasted high/low for the day is 52*/37* with a 10% chance of
precipitation. Thankfully no storms are predicted for race day like we
had last year!
Ok – let’s get down to business:
Packet pick-up
Available at the Elkmont Town Hall on Friday evening from 5:00-7:00 and Saturday morning from 6:30-7:45. The address of the town hall is 18890 Upper Fort Hampton Rd, Elkmont, AL 35620.
Race day registration
If you have a friend that hasn’t registered, bring them along! We will have race day registration! $80 is the registration fee on race day.
Parking
Available at the local churches and behind Belle Chevre goat cheese factory. Please do not park at the town hall as we have workers needing to get in to that parking lot to pick up supplies and volunteers.
Start time – 8:00 am
Aid stations
There will be 4 aid stations along the course. The approximate locations are miles 3, 5, 8 and 11.
Restrooms
There will 4 portables spread out on the course. Look for them the 3,5,8 and 10 mile markers (1 at each location). The restroom at the north end of the trail (around mile 8) may or may not be open. We are checking on it but it may have been winterized due to the frigid temperatures we have experienced in December and this past week. Regardless, there will be a portable there!
Photographers – there will be at least 2 photographers out there on the course – so look up and SMILE!
Finisher Swag
You will get your awesome finisher medal when you cross the finish line. Please head up the hill to the Elkmont Methodist Church to collect your 2018 race hat and PANCAKE BREAKFAST! Your race bib is your ticket to the pancake breakfast and also for claiming your hat.
Pancake Breakfast
Will be held at the Elkmont Methodist Church. It is just up the hill from the finish line. Your supporters are welcome to join you at the pancake breakfast (or they can eat while you are running). Tickets are $5.00 and they can pay at the door.
Door Prize
There will be a bib drawing done while you are out running on the course. Winning bibs will be posted at the Pancake Breakfast. Check out the board and if you are a winner, claim your prize!
Awards
Will be at 11:00 at the Elkmont Methodist Church where the pancake breakfast will be.
