Event Summary

Overview

The Ragnar 5k Beach Run @ TYR WZA SoCal is part of the TYR WZA SoCal Fitness Festival. Athletes in all divisions will compete in the 5k Saturday morning taking them 3.1 miles out and back on the low tide sands of Huntington Beach. Spectators are encouraged to register for a single event ticket and line up for the mass start at 7:00 am.

Pacing

Because of the flat nature and uniqueness of the course, we will be using Pacing Delineators at the start line. This is an effort-based pacing delineation that varies the start waves based on the perceived pace of each group of athletes. This pacing strategy has proven to be very effective to ensure that the traffic on the course is minimized. You will self select into 5 different waves at the start line.
5:50/mile
7:50/mile
8:50/ mile
10:00/mile
11:30/mile

Results

Your results will be available shortly after you cross the finish line in the results tent indicated on the finish venue map. Results will also be posted online as soon as possible after the race.

Timing

The races will be chip-timed using timing tags adhered to the back of your bib. Your time will begin when you cross the starting line, and will stop when you cross the finish line. Please do not tamper with the timing chips, as they cannot be replaced once linked to your bib number.

Bibs

Because the timing tag is adhered to the back of your race bib, it is important that you do not cover your bib with clothing or other objects that may interfere with the tag reader when you are crossing the start and finish lines. Furthermore, in order to ensure that race volunteers, officials, and photographers can properly identify you, you must wear your bib on the front of your person in an unobstructed position.
