River to River Runners - Prediction Runs

What is a Prediction Run?

A prediction run is entirely different from other races that you’ve run in the past. Rather than finishing first or running the fastest, the object of a prediction run is to finish as close to your predicted time as possible.

Can I use any sort of electronic device (i.e. watch, heart rate monitor, sundial, car, etc)?

No, that would make it much too easy.

No watches allowed!

How long is the course?

You won’t find out till you get there! Usually between 2.5 miles and 4.5 miles.

How much does it cost?

$1….Probably the cheapest race you will ever run.

How do I get involved?

Just show up. The race times and locations are listed below and on our events page. The races are open to members and non-members. However club members earn points at each race for a chance to win some money at the Annual River to River Runners Banquet held in January.

    Race start and finish behind the Carterville Community Center

    Join us for the first Sundown Showdown. Race start and finish behind the Carterville Community Center. This event resembles a high school-style cross country meet, using standard scoring and a 5K course. This is a team event, with 3-5 runners per team. (3 scoring runners per team) If you don't have a team or enough people to make an entire team, we will help you on race day to put a team together. You can run the race solo, if you prefer. You can expect mostly grass with a little gravel and paved path in the mix.

    Awards for the top 20 female and male runners as well as top team in each division (Male, Female, and Mixed).

    Team scores are calculated by adding up the finishing positions of the top five runners on each team. Each runner earns points based on their finishing place (1 point for 1st, 2 points for 2nd, and so on). The total points for the team's top three runners are summed, and the team with the lowest total score wins.

    Race Markings

    Race will be marked with the following paint

    Mile 1 - Red

    Mile 2 - White

    Mile 3 - Blue

    There will be a lead vehicle to guide the runners through the course.
