PLEASE take the time to read through these instructions - we would like you to have a smooth and safe racing experience on Sunday! 

All race distances start at 8:30AM. Registration open from 7AM-8:15AM.

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), you do not need to wear a mask outdoors. However, for the safety of yourself and those around you, Eden II advises our registrants to socially distance when possible and to wear a mask in situations that socially distancing yourself is not possible. 

PACKET PICKUP: available outside the school in front of the entrance to the gym at Great Neck South High School, located at 341 Lakeville Road, Great Neck, on the morning of the race. There is no pre-race day pickup. It would be helpful if you know your bib number when you arrive at bib pick-up, as the bibs are arranged by bib number.

PARKING:

Race parking is only available at 1 Hollow Lane which is accessible from New Hyde Park Road.. Please note that there is NO Parking at the school!*(Parking at the school is for Volunteers or Sponsors with a pass only - which will be strictly enforced). It's only a short 6-7 minute walk to the school so please plan accordingly. You should plan to park no later than 8:00am as the LIE Service road will be closed at that time. This will also give you sufficient time to get to the starting line. After that time the only access to race parking will be via New Hyde Park Road, Exit 34. From the LIE, take exit 34 South to Hollow Lane. Exit to 1 Hollow Lane.

* The parking arrangements are at the request of the Great Neck Schools for the safety of the participants. Parking on the campus resulted in safety issues in past years as cars where trying to leave as runners were still on the course. 

COURSE/COURSE MAP: We will have volunteers on the course to guide you but please pay attention to the course markings and surrounding traffic. A copy of the 4 mile course map can be found here. The 1.5 mile walk is highlighted in blue on the PDF.

HYDRATION: There will be water available prior to race start and finish line, and there will also be two water stops on the course; one just before the 2 mile mark and the 3 mile mark. Please dispose of cups properly in the garbage pails on the course. We strongly encourage you to bring your own hydration for this event so that your individual needs are met to your liking. 

POST RACE REFRESHMENTS & AWARDS: Refreshments and the Awards ceremony will take place near the finish line. Awards Ceremony will start between 9:30 and 10:00 AM.
