Havelock Charity Run

You are invited to participate in the 31st Annual Havelock Charity Run consisting of 10K and 3K races.  One of Lincoln's favorite races, the Havelock Charity Run is distinguished by team competition and the Pinnacle Bank Challenge.  Whether you run as an individual or help form a team, we hope that you will join us for one of Lincoln's largest running events.  After the race, you, your family and friends will be able to enjoy the awards ceremony in Havelock Park.

ENTRY -- This year, entry registration is available online only.  Please click on the link provided to go to the registration page; there you can create a team or register with an existing team for the 10K race, enter as an individual for either the 10K or 3K race, or enter with a Grand Prix pass.

ENTRY FEE -- $15 per person.  Online registration for teams closes at the end of the day on Wednesday, June 3.  Late entry registration for individuals can be done at early packet pickup (see below) on Friday, June 5 for $25.  However, there is no guarantee that those entering on June 5 will receive a T-shirt at that time (you may have to wait until an additional order is made).  Cash and checks are accepted for late entries on June 5.

EARLY PACKET PICKUP -- Friday, June 5, from 10am - 7pm at the Pinnacle Bank Branch at 40^th & South Street.

RACE-DAY SCHEDULE
Packet Pickup:  6:30am - 7:30am at the corner of 62nd & Havelock Avenue.  
Race Start: 8:00 am in front of Pinnacle Bank 6145 Havelock Ave.

AWARDS -- T-shirts to all participants in each race.  In both the 10K and the 3K events, gift certificates will be awarded to the top three male finishers, top three female finishers and overall wheelchair finisher.  Gift certificates will also be awarded to a maximum of seven team members of the top three teams in each division and distance.  A pair of running shoes will be given to one youth under 14 and one adult through a random drawing of day-of-race participants.

KID'S GRAND PRIX - The Havelock Charity Run is the third event of the Kid's Grand Prix.  Grand Prix runners should enter online and pay the normal entry fee; a $10 cash refund will be given when presenting a Grand Prix coupon at early or race day packet pickup.

PARKING -- Do not park on Havelock Avenue east of 60th Street or on 63rd Street south of Havelock Avenue.  Avoid the parking lots of businesses that are open on race day.  We suggest parking south of Havelock Avenue and west of 63rd Street.  Parking is available at St Patrick's Church, 6216 Morrill, and at the Goodyear Recreation Center, 6224 Logan.

PINNACLE BANK CHALLENGE -- The Havelock Charity Run emphasizes team competition, while still welcoming individual entries.  In the team competition, Pinnacle Bank will donate up to $75 to a charity chosen by your team.  When your team is created, you will be able to choose a charity from the menu provided online.  This charity receives $50 if five members of your team complete the run; if your team runs faster than the designated Pinnacle Bank Team, your charity receives a total of $75.  Last year Pinnacle Bank donated more than $6,000 to charities.

TEAM RULES:
1) Any group of runners may form a team.  Each team must have a captain who is responsible for creating the team entry and a team pass code on the registration page.  The team captain also selects the team category, charity and race distance. 

2) There is no team entry fee; each team member pays the entry fee when registering.  Additional team members select the team name from the menu and enter the pass code when entering. 

3) Teams may have a maximum of seven members; team scores for the Pinnacle Bank Challenge are calculated by adding the times of the top five finishers (with the exception of Mixed Teams). 

4) Special team eligibility requirements:

Youth: Age 14 or younger.

Mixed: At least two members of each gender must count in the score.

Corporate: Employees and family members are eligible.

PINNACLE BANK TEAMS
3K - Peggy Rada, Geoff Round, Justin Hesser, Jeff Bomberger, Cathy Miles, Candace Ross, Angela Davison and Christine Luu
10K - Dustin Bauer, John Laflin, Jeff Pippitt, Bryan West, Craig Anderson, Jake Whitaker, Ryan Trauernicht and Cheryl Knoell

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1) While all participants should know the course, it is particularly important for slower participants (13:44/mile pace or slower) since course volunteers will leave 1-1/2 hours after the start of the race.  Slower participants will be allowed to finish but may be asked to move off the street and to the sidewalk for their own safety.  The finish line might be disassembled and no guarantees if there will be any food left. 

2) The use of personal music devices is strongly discouraged at this race. To enjoy all that our race has to offer and for the safety of all participants, the Havelock Charity Run encourages a headphone-free environment during the running of either the 10K or 3K races. 

3) It is not permissible for runners or walkers to be accompanied by dogs, leashed or unleashed, in either race. 

4) Teams must choose from the charities listed on the menu online; no exceptions will be allowed.
