Schweizer Fest Road Runs

1 - Where does the race start?

  The race will start on the 800 block of 7th street in Tell City. The 6-mile race will start approximately

50 meters in front of the 2-mile race. Both finish in front of St. Paul's Church on Main Street in Tell City.

2 - How does registration work?

  NEW THIS YEAR!!  We will be doing online registration through RunSignUp, a secure way to get you

and your family entered into the race.  CLICK HERE to be taken to our registration page.   It's our way

of being environmentally friendly instead of sending out 1000's of paper entries.

​

  If you're old school and still want to print/mail a form, you can print off the entry form by

CLICKING HERE for a .pdf  or  CLICKING HERE for a .xls  and mail the form with payment until August 10th.

After then, runners must register the morning of the race up to 7:30am. The registration booth will be on

the North Side (closest to St. Paul's Church) of City Hall Park. Participants MUST REGISTER NO LATER

THAN 7:30AM THE MORNING OF THE RACE!!!

3 - Is there an early packet pick-up?

  We will have packets available for pick-up Friday night at St. Paul's Church from 5:30-7:00pm.  You

may also pick-up your packet Saturday morning at the race.

​

4 - What's the course like?

 Links to both courses are located on the Course page.

5 - Am I guaranteed a shirt?

 YES!! Unlike some races where there are a limited number of shirts, we have a policy that all runners will receive a shirt. Pre-registered runners are guaranteed to get their shirt race-day; those who register late MAY have theirs sent to them if none are available race-day - all runners WILL get a shirt, however!!

6 - It's hot in August.  Will there be water on the course?

 Absolutely!!  Each mile will have a water stop with plenty of liquids.

7 - I plan on walking the 6-mile race - is there a time limit for walkers?

 YES. If you are wishing to walk the race, that is fine.  But the 6-mile course will close promptly at 9:45 (approximately 17 min/mile pace). If you feel that you need more time, we'll make it work - just shoot us an email and we'll figure it out.

8 - Will there be awards?

 We will be giving out awards for the top 3 finishers in each category listed on the registration form. The overall winners (male and female) of the 2mi and 6mi races will also receive a trophy. Back by popular demand will be the Tell City Pretzel tins!! All kid participants in the Kids' Fun Run will receive participation ribbons.
