Ahoy, Runners and Renegades!
The 47th annual Racine Lighthouse Run beckons, a swashbucklin' adventure where sweat meets scenery and every stride whispers a salty saga. This ain't your average jog, mateys, it's a voyage of personal conquest, breathtaking shores, and tales the lake weaves on the breeze.

Each year, a new lighthouse emerges from the Lake Michigan mist, guiding your course and painting the past alive. These sentinels of stone aren't just landmarks, they're portals to bygone eras, where salty dogs once braved treacherous waters.

RUN HIGHLIGHTS:

The awards presentation will be held inside the Rotary Park Grounds.

Awards are based on Gun Start (USATF Rules)

OVERALL AND AGE CATEGORY WINNERS are ALWAYS BASED on a SHOTGUN START.

USATF Rule 245.1 states "The order in which the athletes cross the finish line will be the official finish position." Further, Rule 245.3 - regarding transponder timing - "the actual time elapsed between an athlete reaching the starting line and finish line can be made known to the athlete, but will not be considered as official time." In short, the official time per USATF rule is gun time.
