    NOTE:  

    • There is no switching into races that are sold out, and TCM does not maintain a waiting list. 

    • Participants may not switch into the Medtronic TC 10 Mile because registration is done by a drawing process and it would be unfair to those we turn away from the drawing.

    While we love our four-legged friends, we ask that they cheer you on from the sidelines and you reunite with them after exiting the Finish Controlled Zone. Thank you for your understanding. 

  • The Event Alert System, or EAS, is a color-coded method of quickly communicating to participants the potential for adverse weather conditions that can affect the race event. A series of color codes is used to indicate the increasing severity of adverse conditions as outlined here

    At TCM events the EAS flag color will be shared in the pre-race email, a packet pick up, at the Start Line, and on course during the event. Please pay attention, as flag color may change during the event.
