Wayne County Chase Race - Wooster, Ohio - Running

The Wayne County Chase Race is a Running race in Wooster, Ohio consisting of a 5K.

HOW DOES A CHASE RACE WORK?
Great question. The race will begin at 9am. At 9:10am our chase vehicle will be in hot pursuit! (the chase vehicle looks suspiciously like a golf cart) Our driver's goal will be to pass each and every runner/walker. Once you have been passed, your official race is over. As the driver approaches, you'll notice a lot of people around you running as fast as they can!

EXAMPLE: If you run a 10 minute mile, you'll be about a mile ahead of the driver when he begins pursuit. His vehicle will go about 12-15 miles per hour, which means he will be driving at a 4-5 minute mile pace. As the chase vehicle gets to the one mile mark, you'll be roughly a quarter to a half mile ahead. If these speeds continue, it will pass you somewhere between half and three quarters of the way through the race. You absolutely can continue to run/walk the rest of the 5k.
