Race Details |
At this year's Taming of the Slough racers will be started individually and scored in a time trial style. We are holding the race this way in order to keep everyone as spaced as possible during the race.
The categories we will be giving out trophies for will also be changed this year. We will still have the travelling Corporate challenge trophy, we will give out first, second, and third place trophies to the top three teams in the three-person relays (men and women competing together), top three men's individual finishers, and top three women's individual finishers.
The first racer leaves the Bass Street YMCA (1701 1st Ave, Moline, IL 61265) at 8:00am on Sept 12. Packet Pick-up will be on Friday, Sept 11 at The TaxSlayer Center (1201 River Dr, Moline, IL 61265) from 5:00-7:00pm as a drive up service in the parking lot..
