33rd Annual Fowl Fun Run
11/13/2011 Wrap-up: Thanks for coming out for the 2011 Fowl Fun Run. The rain held off until after the race so we didn't get the traditional "fowl" weather this year which resulted in some fast times. Results are now posted below and on our results page. If you see any errors, please let us know. Photos from the 2011 race can also be found below, courtesy of Dave Robb. A big thanks to all of the volunteers who made this race happen, especially the ones who stood or sat out in the cold for hours directing traffic or manning the finish line. If anyone forgot to return their timing chip at the finish, please return it to Skagit Running Company in downtown Mount Vernon or mail it to the address on the back of the chip as soon as possible. We hope to see everyone back in 2012! Date of Event: Saturday, November 12, 2011 Starting Time: 10:00 am Race Distances: 10K and 2 Mile Run/WalkLocation:
Mount Vernon Christian School, 820 West Blackburn Road, Mount Vernon, WA (just south
of the fairgrounds)
Day of Race Registration: Please arrive early if you plan to register on the morning of the race. We will not be holding up the race start this year to wait for late arrivals. If you arrive after 9:30 am and try to sign up for the run, you may miss the official start and not be included in the age group awards. Registration will be available online until the Thursday before the race and Skagit Running Company will be accepting registrations until 1 pm on Friday, so please pre-register if at all possible. Chip Timing: We will be using the IPICO chip timing system this year which requires the timing chip to be attached to your shoe with the supplied tie wraps. At the finish line, volunteers will cut the tie wraps and remove the timing ship. Make sure that the timing chip is returned after the race as there is a $30 fee for any tags that are not returned. If you forget to return the chip at the finish, please mail it as soon as possible to Skagit Runners, P.O. Box 120, Burlington, WA 98233 to avoid the charge. Also note that all entrants need to be entered in the computer before the race begins to be included in the age division awards. If you arrive late (after 9:30 am) and register on the morning of the race, there may not be time to enter your information so you will not be eligible for age division awards. For late arrivals, we will still enter your information before publishing official results on the website, but this will be after all of the age group awards have been given out to pre-registered and early DOR registrants. Optional Bib Pick-up: Pre-registered participants may pick up their bib numbers in advance at the Skagit Running Company (702 S. First St., Mount Vernon) on Friday 11/11/11 during business hours (10 am - 5 pm). Bib numbers may also be picked up the morning of the race at the school. Timing chips must be picked up the morning of the race. Course: The 10K is a flat loop on farming roads south of downtown Mount Vernon with a short out and back section on Dike Road. The 2 mile course is a flat out and back course. Both the 10K course and the 2 Mile course have been certified (USATF Certification Codes WA 09057 MW and WA 09056 MW). Both races will start at 10 am at the school. The courses are not closed to vehicle traffic, but both courses have been designed to avoid crossing any dangerous intersections. One aid station will be located near the 3 mile mark on the 10K course assuming that the wind doesn't blow it away! Course Maps: 10K, 2 Mile Course Closure: The courses will be open for 2 hours. Weather: Almost any type of weather is possible at this time of year in the valley. There is usually a strong headwind on Dike Road in late fall, but also be prepared for rain and cold temperatures.
