Why The WingMan 10k?

On 21 July 2008, our nation lost six of its military heroes in a B-52 crash off the coast of Guam. One of those heroes was my best friend, Joshua Shepherd, who I called my “WingMan” and who commissioned with me just a few years earlier. At his funeral, several of his friends committed to completing the Air Force Marathon the next year in his honor, and from then forward, every year I have tried to honor his memory by both doing something positive and by running a race on the anniversary week of his passing. In 2014 I combined those ideas and became the race director for a new ORRRC race — the WingMan 10K — one that I hope will honor him and the values he taught me: be a friend to everyone, chase your goals, and never leave someone behind. I hope that you will join us and bring a friend to our race to remember a great father, brother, son, and most of all a great friend, as well as all of those who have given their lives serving our great nation! — Eddie Weaver

Race Concept

The WingMan 10K is all about meeting fellow runners and teamwork! Therefore, we have a unique race structure to encourage you to meet others and cheer them on as your team works to beat the other teams!

TEAMS – Each runner will be randomly assigned one of six teams (yellow, green, blue, orange, red, or purple) and each walker will be assigned one of two teams (black or gray), and given a wrist-band of that color. Team assignments will be randomized to make sure the numbers-per-team are approximately even.

WORRIED ABOUT NOT BEING COMPETITIVE? – That’s ok! We have non-competitive black and gray color-teams for you so that you can just take part (walking or running) in the event without the fear of “bringing a team down” (you wouldn’t do that anyway – this race is about building each other up!). We’d rather have you at our event than have you stressed! <3

STAGGERED START – Runners will start on a staggered start (colloquially called a “handicapped start”) based on their age/sex, with “Women 70+ years old” starting 32 minutes before “Men 20-34 years old” (and everyone else in between in “Waves”). This will help even out the teams and negate any benefit to having an age/sex-stacked team, allowing teams to evenly compete with each other. (Note: The chip-timing results will reflect your true race time, but you’re encouraged to bring your own watch if you want a very precise time.)

AWARDS – The first 25 runners overall, plus the first color team of runners and first color-team of walkers with their team-members into the finish will earn an award!

REGISTRATION:

Pre-registration online: through RunSignup. Minors may be registered in advance by a parent or guardian, and must have the liability waiver signed by the parent or guardian (online through RunSignup or in person on the registration sheet at the event). All pre-registered participants will pick up their timing chip at the green table on race day.

Race Day Registration: available online until 15 minutes before race start time; hard copy registration sheets also available if needed. We recommend you arrive at least one hour before the race to park, register, and warm-up prior to the race start.

FEES:

All Current Members Run for Free (fee waived automatically during RunSignup registration, or bring your card/proof of membership to the event)

Free – Military & Veterans (w/DD-214 or military/VA ID Card)

Non-Members:

– $10 for ages 15 and up

– Free for ages 14 and under

Come join us Saturday, August 1st at 6pm. The race will run until the following morning at 6am. This is a great training opportunity to run through the night for any upcoming races you may have. Or just come to run a marathon, half marathon, 10k, a couple miles, etc.

Price Increase 30 days out! Sign up today!

THE COURSE:

This is a 1.52 mile looped course that follows a paved path around Smith Park in Middletown, OH. The course is very flat and parallels Middletown Regional Airport. The goal is to run as many loops as possible in 12 hours. If you run all 12 hours, we will give you a marker on your last loop you can drop at 12 hours and we will measure the added on distance. This race will be chipped timed by Brunning Endurance Company (brunningendurance.com). There is one aid station at the start/finish line area that will be fully stocked with water, infinite, vegetable soup, bacon at midnight, coffee at 3am and donuts at 5am. You may bring a canopy and personal aid to the race to set up along the course.

OUR GOAL:

Many of you may know that Steel City was started as a free race with the suggested donation of new clothing for our local homeless shelter or a monetary donation for Art Central Foundation. We are now charging 60 dollars per participant to help cover costs associated with the race. Our goal is to cover essential race costs and donate the proceeds to Art Central Foundation (ACF). When you buy a race t-shirt, 100% of that money will go to ACF. The students compete in a competition to create the design for the race shirts each year. You can check out some of the previous t-shirt designs by scrolling through our race photos.

We believe in the mission of ACF, as they are a downtown Middletown nonprofit that provides local residents and students opportunities to grow in the visual arts. The money that we donate will help provide free visual art classes, workshops, field trips to local art museums, materials, and much more to local students pursuing visual arts. Check out ACF on their website: https://artcentralfoundation.org/index.php

RUCK:

If you are rucking in this event you will need to carry a minimum of 25lbs. We will weigh your pack at the beginning and end of the race. Find the scale at the registration booth. Backpack style ruck must be used to win an award. No vests.

AWARDS:

Unique finisher awards, hand crafted by students of Art Central Foundation, will be handed out for any and all who complete a marathon, 50k, 50 miler and 100k running or rucking, during the 12 hour time span. We will give awards to the top place male and female runners and ruckers as well.

Sign up for this unique event today!

See you there!
