About this race

When:
Wednesday, September 16
6:00 pm

Where:
Redwood Shelter
Waco, TX

How it works:
The Jacob's Ladder Challenge is to see how many loops you can run from the Redwood Shelter, up Jacob's Ladder, and back to the Redwood Shelter in 30 minutes. The course is 1K in length with a 70 ft elevation change (up Jacob's Ladder). 

Your finish results will be the number of laps completed and your overall finish time after your last completed lap. We will be using our timing equipment to count your laps. Any laps completed after the 30 minute time limit will not count.

There are no awards other than bragging rights in Open and Masters age groups. We will have water, but you can BYOB.

Registration:
This is a free event for current members of the Waco Striders Running Club. Even though the registration is free we do want you to pre-register so we can assign bib numbers.

Bib Pick Up:
On-site registration and Bib pick-up will be from 5:30-6:00 pm at the Redwood Shelter.
