Brian Diemer Family of Races Donut Mile
Before the Elite heats take the track, let's have fun with the Brian Diemer Family of Races Donut Mile. Participants will start by eating a donut, running a lap, eating another donut, and repeating until they have completed a Mile. It is a total of 4 donuts + 4 laps. This will be chipped-timed, allowing us to award the top 3 overall male and female finishers. This will be capped to the first 70 participants who register. To participate, you must register for this heat in addition to any other heat you are participating in.

For women who project their finish time to be faster than a 5:45 minute mile.
