The 10k is out-and-back on the north side for half the race\, then does an out-and-back on the south side. The 10k will be mostly trail\, but there is a good section of pavement as well along the route. The half is out 5 miles on the north side of the lake before returning back\, where the runners come through the S/F line area at Mile 10 before heading out to do the 5k course. The half does have about 50% of the route on pavement. Check the elevation gain on the course maps page. \nBack of the Pack time: 11:30 (5k/10k); 12:30 (half) \nWhat is the Back of the Pack (BOTP)?  It is not a cut off time\, it is actually a series we have geared towards people who average higher than the BOTP listed above.  This allows runners of similar pace to compete with each other and get series points. Visit Bishop’s events FAQ for more information about this and other questions you may have.  https://bishopsevents.com/series-faqs/\n  \nLive Race Results \nLive results will be posted on Athlinks.com.  Additionally\, there will be a QR code at the race for you to scan to immediately view your results.  Final race results with series points will be posted to our website on the Monday following your race. \nRunner tracking is now available when you sign up for a race with Bishop’s Events.
