Ready to take on the BINGO Run challenge?
This race is a backyard-style event with a fun twist and a definite finish. The goal is simple: earn bingo and have the fastest lap time to wrap up your race. Each 2.6+ mile lap you complete in the 28 minutes or less you get to draw a bingo ball. Then, it’s back out with the group for the next loop. Loops will go off every 28 minutes. If you don’t complete your bingo by the 4th or 8th lap, you'll earn the infamous DNB (Did Not Bingo) status, but don’t worry, you’ll still get a time, distance, and competitor Woodle.
You’ll can choose between two bingo card options, depending on how much you want to run:
The 3x3 card will get you 7.8-13 miles depending on when you draw BINGO (Max Loops 5)
The 4x4 Card will get you 10.4 - 20.8 miles depending on when and if you draw BINGO (Max Loops 8)
You choose which card you want to sign up for.

Aid Stations:

Timing and Results:
The Bingo Run is a gun-timed race using chips. Each runner must wear a race bib visible at all times, especially when crossing the finish line. Timing is based on a group start. Faster runners should start closer to the start line, while walkers should start near the back of the corral to prevent bottlenecking. Be considerate of other racers by stating when you are passing and moving to the right if your pace slows. Results will be posted on our Runsignup page, and QR codes will be available for immediate result checks at the finish line.
Awards and Prizes:
Awards will be given to the top 3 overall male and female finishers based on gun time.
