Dogs are not allowed on the course or in the tent.  We strongly discourage you from bringing your furry friends to the race.

 

Electronic Timing

 

The Point Bock Run utilizes electronic timing technology.  A disposable timing chip is attached to your bib number.  Your time does not start until you cross the start line.  A half-way split will be taken when you cross the mat at the turnaround.  With the exception of the overall male and female, all official times will be based on chip time.  The overall male and female times will be based on gun time.

Runners must show servers their bib numbers for proof of age; all others must provide identification if asked.

 

The Stevens Point Boy Scouts will be offering Root Beer and other food for sale.
