A Prediction Run is a race where the winner isn't the fastest runner—it's the person who best predicts their own finish time. When registering, you'll enter your predicted finish time. After the race, your official chip time will be compared to your prediction. The participant closest to their predicted finish time wins! Prediction Run Rules A predicted finish time must be entered during registration. Chip time is the official finish time. Watches, phones, GPS devices, or any pacing devices are not permitted if competing for the Prediction Run award. Participants using a timing device remain eligible for all other awards. 🏆 Awards & Competitions We want to celebrate the spirit of Mardi Gras and Joe Cain Day! There are no age group awards.
