The course was a fairly-flat 1-mile paved-loop mainly on Estante Way. One could run any distance but with a requested predicted time of 45 minutes or less. Almost half chose to do 2 miles, not one of the typical 1- or 3-mile distances. Two runners did 5 miles and Jaime Jablin ran 7 miles.

The differences between predicted and actual times were all adjusted by distance to 3 miles. The best predictors and their adjusted delta times (in seconds) were Sammy Keie and Karen Thorn (14), Ted Romero (14.4), Claire Sanders and Jessica Faulker (21), Georgia Pedicini (24), and Jaime Jablin (28.7).

Next Tuesday's Pace Race will start on North Mesa Road just east of the Diamond roundabout near the golf course at the Bayo Canyon Trailhead down the hill into the Canyon from the parking area right off North Mesa Rd.
