The seventh annual Ridgeway Cantaloupe 5k Run/Walk will be held this Saturday, July 25, 2020, at 8 a.m. The rural and flat 5k route, a USAT&F certified course, starts and ends at 101 Ridgeway-Drewry Road in Norlina, near the Ridgeway Volunteer Fire Department.

Registration is $30, limited to 100 participants, required by July 24 and available online only at clockworkracetiming.com.

There will be no race-day registration, and packet pickup will be held on Saturday morning only beginning at 6:30 a.m.

Race day:

• Refreshments *may be* provided, but race parking is at the finish, so bring your favorite post-race food/drink
• Results will be based on net (chip start to chip finish) time
• Runners will start in groups of 10 or less at intervals sufficient to space out on the course
• Race organizers hope to have T-shirts available for pick-up at the race, but if not, an email will be sent
• As in previous years, bib numbers will have disposable timing chips affixed to the back of them (do not remove this)
• The festival has been canceled for this year, so the race is the only event

At this time, face coverings will be required pre-and-post event should social distancing not be possible.
