Our Lady of the Lake Tiger 10K

The Our Lady of the Lake Tiger 10K is a partnership between LSU Athletics and FRESHJUNKIE Racing that brings the tradition of LSU Football and Tiger Stadium into a fun, festive road race event that includes a 5K and a Kids 1 Mile Race (ages 12 and under).  The goal of the event is to give the entire LSU community: fans, students, alumni, faculty and staff, no matter age or ability, an opportunity to complete their journey in Tiger Stadium.  Participants get to make their mark on the hallowed ground where so many have left theirs.  A festive post race party with live music, cold beer and good food is being planned to celebrate everyone's accomplishment.

10K

 

The start line for the 10K and 5K courses will be on South Stadium Dr. near LSU Stadium’s new South end zone addition.  Runners will be corralled according to expected finish times with the fastest runners in the front and walkers in the back.  Both the 10K and 5K races will start at 8:00am in a wave start fashion.  150-200 runners will be allowed to start approximately every 30 seconds.

 

Runners will proceed East on South Stadium Drive.  Where East Parker Drive, meets West Lakeshore Drive, the 5K runners will turn left and run down “Sorority Row” while the 10K runners will continue straight towards Stanford Avenue.

 

The remaining portion of the 5K course will be divided by cones to keep 5K runners and 10K runners in separate lanes, allowing for the faster 10K runners to run unimpeded through the course.

 

All runners will see Dalrymple Drive, the LSU Law Center, the Student Union and Parade Grounds, the Bell Tower, Campus Quad, and the Indian Mounds. Runners will continue down Field House Drive and turn right onto Powerhouse Lane before entering the Southeast Gates to the field.  On the 50-yard line runners will cross the finish line and slap the WIN bar.

 

After the 5K runners split off, the 10K runners will turn North on Stanford Avenue, and pass Baton Rouge Beach for the first time on the way out and turn left onto Hyacinth Avenue.  This is a beautiful section of town with many wonderful oak trees and scenic views of the lake and LSU Campus across it.  A quick loop around East Lakeshore Drive from Hyacinth Avenue will put runners back going South on Stanford Avenue.  A right turn onto South Lakeshore Drive gives more views of the lakes and some stunning southern homefronts before passing Baton Rouge Beach a second time and turning West on West Lakeshore Drive.

 

10K Runners will rejoin the 5K course at West Lakeshore Drive and follow the 5K course towards the finish. The congested area of the course on “Sorority Row” will be coned to allow us to keep 5K runners and 10K runners in separate lanes, allowing for the fast 10K runners to run unimpeded through the course.

 

*All courses are very well marked.  There are mile markers for each distance event, directional signs for course splits and TURNAROUND signs for course turnarounds.  Course splits and course turnarounds will be manned with an operations staff member who will typically be making announcements on a megaphone.  Course turns are indicated with traffic cones and usually (not always) have police units, volunteers and/or staff members.  Traffic on courses is managed by our law enforcement partners, but no roads are promised to be closed to all traffic.  Runners should be aware of their surroundings: the course, applicable signage, vehicles, staff, volunteers, and police officers.

*Runners must maintain a 21:45 minute per mile pace to be allowed to continue the 10K.  Runners not able to maintain this pace will be picked up in a SAG vehicle and moved forward on the course or brought to the finish line.

At FRESHJUNKIE Racing (FJR) events, participants should conduct themselves in a courteous manner, respecting all fellow participants, volunteers, event staff, and members of the community.  Participants are expected to follow the Rules of Competition outlined below. Unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated. Proper race etiquette is required at all times, including being aware of your surroundings and of announcements and instructions from event officials.

START

Please give yourself enough time to pick up your bib number and enter your corral. Only enter the corral you are assigned to or a slower one, and respect the event staff. Please be respectfully quiet during pre-race announcements and the playing of the National Anthem prior to the start.

HEADPHONES

The use of headphones is strongly discouraged. If you must wear headphones, be sure that you can hear all announcements and be extra-aware of your surroundings, including other participants and any vehicle traffic.

MOBILE DEVICES

The use of mobile devices for photography or social updates during the event is strongly discouraged, as it decreases your awareness of other participants around you. If you must use a mobile device, be sure that you can hear all announcements and be extra-aware of your surroundings, including other participants and any vehicle traffic.

URINATION

In accordance with State and City rules and laws, only use the toilet facilities provided by the event and/or open to the public. Please be considerate in portable-toilet lines; don’t cut in line or into another line. Never urinate in the corrals, along the course, at the post-finish walk-off, or in the post-race venue. You risk disqualification and a police summons if caught.

RUNNING COURTESY

While participating in the event, don’t run in groups of three or more abreast; wide groups become barriers to other runners. Don’t stop abruptly to drink at an aid station or to tie your shoelaces. Watch where you spit and blow your nose to avoid hitting other participants. If someone running behind you says, “On your left,” move to your right to let the runner pass. If someone says, “On your right,” move to your left.

TRASH

Our running events are conducted in public places—either city or state parks or streets. Please deposit any trash in the provided receptacles, including at aid stations. Be careful when discarding cups at aid stations so as to avoid hitting other participants.

SAFETY

If you encounter a runner in distress, offer assistance and/or report the situation to the nearest aid station. If it is a life and death emergency, call 9-1-1 if possible.

 

FRESHJUNKIE Racing (FJR) and the Our Lady of the Lake Tiger 10K have implemented a color-coded Event Alert System (EAS) for our races that will communicate the status of course conditions on race day. The levels range from Low (green) to Moderate (yellow) to High (red) to Extreme (black) based on the weather and other course conditions. On race day, the current EAS status will be communicated via color-coded flags at the start and finish areas and along the course at each medical station.  Decisions to delay, stop or cancel an event are NOT made on weather forecasts, which have been known to be wrong.  Decisions are made on race day based on the actual weather experienced.  Our goal is to hold a safe event and we wait as long as we can before making decisions that we cannot.  Our decision criteria is outlined below.  We will run in the rain as long as no lightning or thunder is present.

All participants should familiarize themselves with the EAS prior to the race, remain alert for directions from race officials, and take precautions to prepare properly for varying weather or course conditions on race day.

 

 

Participants will receive notifications before and during races using on-site announcements, social media, text and email notifications.  Additionally, on-course notifications will occur at aid stations with the use of color-coded flags and announcements from race staff and law enforcement personnel.  Utilization of transport vehicles and/or designated EAS physical locations along the course route may be activated for “HIGH” and “EXTREME” alert levels.

 

On-Course Medical Volunteers and additional runner support (fluids, etc.) will be directed to their designated physical locations to provide on-site care in the facility if the race is stopped.  Additional support will be deployed using EMS and medical support from finish medical area as deemed appropriate.

 

LIGHTNING/SEVERE WEATHER SAFETY GUIDELINES

 

This protocol is designed to provide information to participants, cities and towns along the course regarding FJR policies and procedures in the event of a weather hazard that includes severe weather conditions such as lightning and/or thunder.  To determine the proximity of lightning, FJR utilizes the National Severe Storm Laboratory (NSSL) flash-to-bang method in addition to weather monitoring services.

To use the flash-to-bang method, count the seconds from the time lightning is first sighted to when the clap of thunder is heard.  Divide this number by five to obtain the distance in miles from where the lightning occurred. (Example:  30 second count between flash and hearing bang… storm is 6 miles away)

Lightning awareness increases with the first visual sighting of a flash or clap of thunder regardless of how far away the storm may seem.  How fast the storm is moving, relative to the time it would take to find safe shelter for runners, staff, and spectators is considered.  Participants and spectators should remember the existence of blue sky and the absence of rain are not protection from lightning.

As a standard, by the time FJR staff monitors a flash-to-bang count of 60 seconds, event activities will begin to be paused or cancelled and instructions to all individuals to leave the site and reach a safe location will be given.  Resumption of activity will only be considered by waiting 30 minutes or longer after the last flash of lightning or sound of thunder is heard.  Depending on the timing and available roadway access, the event may not resume and be cancelled.  NOTE: refunds are not given in the event of cancellation due to weather, public emergency, or Acts of God.

 

COMMUNICATION

 

FRESHJUNKIE Racing has an established protocol for notifying participants should weather conditions cause a delay or stoppage in the race:

1. In person announcements over event speakers, PA systems, and/or police units are made instructing those present of any delay, stoppage or cancellation as well as instructions on where to move for safety
2. Notice of delay, stoppage or cancellation is immediately posted to our Social Media page(s)
3. Notice of delay, stoppage or cancellation is sent via text message to all participants who elected to receive text alerts during registration
4. Notice of delay, stoppage or cancellation is emailed to all registered participants.  If a participant has 'unsubscribed' to our emails, they may not receive this form of communication

Our top priority is runner safety and decisions are made with that in mind, but we will do everything we can to hold the event as scheduled.  This means we DO NOT alter or cancel event plans based on weather forecasts before race day.

 

 

GENERAL INFORMATION

DO YOU LIMIT THE NUMBER OF RUNNERS IN EACH RACE?
Yes, the 10K, 5K & Tiger Kids Mile do have a cap.

 

WILL YOU HAVE PACERS?
There are no pacers for the Our Lady of the Lake Tiger 10K events.  Runners will self-seed based on their expected finish time.  Please look for appropriate "Pace Signs" to seed yourself correctly prior to the start of the race. Please pay attention to race announcements, other on-site signage and instructions. 

 

CAN I HAVE CELL PHONES, FRIENDS, STROLLERS, DOGS ON THE COURSE?
We encourage you to invite friends and family to cheer you on along the course, but they are only allowed to run with you if they are registered runners. Per USA Track & Field rules, elements that could impede the safety of runners, such as bikes, skates, skateboards, strollers and pets on the course, are not allowed. The safety of our runners is our number one priority. By signing or clicking ’I Accept’ on any Our Lady of the Lake Tiger 10K registration race waiver, you are agreeing to abide by the Rules of Competition.

 

CAN I WEAR HEADPHONES?
Participants will be able to use listening devices during the running of the 10K, 5K, and Tiger Kids Mile, but they do so at their own risk. Runner safety is, and will continue to be, the priority for all of our events. To ensure a safe and enjoyable race for everyone, we ask that you please be mindful of the other participants and race personnel.

You MUST be aware of your surroundings at all times and this includes being able to hear any verbal warnings/instructions from police/course officials or the sound of any vehicles and other participants on the course. The abuse of portable headphone devices can result in disqualification. Abuse refers to being so distracted that you become a hazard to yourself, your fellow participants, spectators, course marshals, finish line officials, medical personnel, other race officials, police personnel or vehicle traffic.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. We must constantly consider the safety of all our participants, volunteers and spectators and review this rule as well as others in order to ensure the continued safety of our participants.

 

WHAT IF I LOSE SOMETHING THE DAY OF THE RACE?
Lost & Found is located near the awards area.  After the event, please contact info@tiger10K.com to see if items were turned in.  Clothing items left in the start areas and along the course are immediately donated to charity and are not kept in Lost & Found.

CAN I GIVE/SELL MY NUMBER TO ANOTHER RUNNER?
Entries are transferable, but must be done through our registration site, RunSignUp.  Transfers are allowed until 10 days prior to the event and do not incur any fees from us.   Completing the transfer through our system is MANDATORY.  This is for the safety of the runner as well as necessary to satisfy insurance requirements of the event.

This could result in further injury.  Instructions on how to transfer to another runner can be found HERE.

 

CAN I TRANSFER MY ENTRY TO ANOTHER FRESHJUNKIE RACING EVENT?

You can transfer your race entry to another race owned by FRESHJUNKIE Racing as long as registration for the desired race is open and you are more than 10 days out from the race you are currently registered for.  A list of FRESHJUNKIE Racing events and calendar can be found here.   Completing these transfers may incur costs depending on what event(s) you are transferring to and from.   You can find instructions on how to complete a transfer to another FRESHJUNKIE Racing owned event by clicking HERE.

 

CAN I SWITCH RACES?
Yes, you may switch to any race.  Fees may apply for any race distance change.  Race bibs are assigned according to what race you are registered for.  If you do not officially change your registered distance, your time scoring will not be accurate and you may not receive the appropriate finisher medal.  

The Transfer Event option can be found by logging on to RunSignUp, navigating to Profile > Upcoming Events > Manage Registration > Transfer Event. The Transfer Event option can be either located on the top of the page or on the left of the page.

PACKET PICKUP

MAIL MY BIB PACKET PICKUP

If you paid to have your bib mailed to you, you will NOT need to come to Packet Pickup before the race starts.

On race day, once you've finished, you can collect your SWAG items form the "Mail My Bib Swag Pickup" tent. You are welcome to attend pre-race Packet Pickup as well, but it is not necessary. 

 

GEAR CHECK

IS THERE A PLACE TO DROP BAGS AT THE START LINE?
No.  We do not offer gear check for the Tiger 10K.  The proximity of parking to the race venue has made it unnecessary in years past.

The Our Lady of the Lake Tiger 10K is not responsible for lost items, however we do offer lost and found services at the event.  Lost items typically are brought to the band stage or to the start/finish lines.

START & FINISH

WHERE DOES THE RACE START AND FINISH?

WILL THERE BE CORRALS?
Runners will self-seed based on expected finish times.  Runners should look for the "Pace Signs" in order to correctly seed themselves on race morning.  Both the 5K and 10K races will start at 8:00am in a wave start fashion.  150-200 runners will be allowed to start approximately every 30 seconds.  

 

WHERE CAN I MEET MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS AFTER THE RACE?
The easiest way to find your family and friends after the race is to have a plan beforehand.  Picking a section in the West side seating or a spot outside the stadium are good options.

 

COURSE AND RULES OF THE ROAD

IS THERE A TIME LIMIT FOR THE RACES?
City permits limit the race time available to participants. Participants have 2 hours and 15 minutes to complete the 10K and 5K courses. No race services including medical, aid stations or traffic control are available beyond this. In order to ensure safety, a Sweep Vehicle follows the race route to pick up participants who are unable to maintain this pace on a consistent basis. Participants are required to board the Sweep Van when so instructed by Race Officials. Course Marshals are instructed to retrieve bibs of all participants who refuse to board the van when instructed to do so.

 

WHY IS THERE A TIME LIMIT?
In order to comply with city permits, streets crossing the route must be reopened to vehicular traffic on a set schedule.

 

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY PACE IS SLOWER THAN THE ALLOTTED TIME?
If you are caught by the Sweep Vehicle traveling at the cutoff pace, you MUST board the Sweep Van accompanying this vehicle for transport to the finish area. For your safety, the Baton Rouge Police Department does not allow runners to continue in the streets once the course has been re-opened to traffic. Keep in mind that race services, including water stations and medical aid, will be discontinued once the Sweep Vehicle comes through. 

 

WHAT IS NOT ALLOWED ON THE COURSE?
For the safety of our runners the following is not allowed: going backward, runners not wearing a race number, animals, bicycles, roller skates, roller blades, hand-crank chairs, wheeled vehicles and push-rim wheelchairs.
Receiving outside assistance of any kind is not allowed. Outside assistance consists of, but is not limited to: receiving fluids, gels, food or any personal items from someone not serving in an official race capacity; receiving pacing assistance from any person that is not a registered participant of the race.
Abusive behavior or language directed toward any other participant, volunteer, police officer, or staff member is also not allowed.
Any of these rules infractions can result in a time penalty or race disqualification. The discretion and final ruling resides with the Race Director.

 

IS THERE ENERGY GEL AVAILABLE ON THE COURSE?
No energy gels are provided for any race distance.  Water and Powerade are provided at water stations.  10K runners will pass 3 water stations.  5K runners will pass 1 water station.  There are no water stations for the Tiger Kids Mile.

 

WHAT SPORTS BEVERAGE WILL BE ON THE COURSE?
Water and Powerade are provided at water stations on the 10K and 5K courses.

PACKET PICKUP & REGISTRATION

 

What to Bring

Packet Pickup is the only place you can pick up your registration packet.  Registered participants can confirm registration on this website by clicking on the "Participant Tracking" menu option. All registered participants will get an email Friday morning with their assigned bib number.  Participants must present a valid government-issued ID or a copy of your registration confirmation. Digital copies (your phone screen) are allowed at packet pickup to receive your packet.

 

Proxy Pickup

Someone other than the registered participant can pick up a packet as long as the friend or family member presents a copy of the participant’s registration confirmation, and/or the participant’s photo ID. Digital copies (your phone screen) are allowed. There are NO exceptions to this requirement.  

 

Mail My Bib

If you would like to have your race bib mailed to you, you can add this feature to your registration for $10 per registration until three weeks before the event.  If you add this, your bib will be mailed USPS 16 days prior to the event.  You WILL NOT need to come to Packet Pickup before the race starts.  We will have your shirt and any other SWAG items available for you to collect AFTER you finish the race.  We ONLY mail your race bib to you.  You will still need to collect your shirt and SWAG items, but can do so at the "Mail My Bib Swag Pickup" tent after the race.

 

Late Registration

Late registration is available at Packet Pickup and Race Day unless the race(s) sells out. We will post a notice regarding closed races on our website and Facebook page. Participants can register or change races in the Race Registration area.  

 

Registration Confirmation

Registered participants should receive a confirmation email during the registration process. While the only requirement is that you present your government-issued photo ID, we also recommend either printing your confirmation and bringing it to packet pickup, or having a copy electronically available on your mobile device. 

 

 

 

 

You don't have to be in a hurry to leave after you cross the finish line.  Right outside the stadium, near the start line, we will be hosting our Tiger Tailgating Post Race Party.  Be sure to give yourself time to enjoy the live music, hot food, and cold beer.

This year's food options will be Tiger Dogs, Pastalaya by Rice and Roux and assorted Coca Cola Products.  Beer will be provided by Mockler Beverages.

Join us for a celebration of 90’s and 00’s alternative rock and Country Beatdowns from Baton Rouge’s The Sundowners.

Sportsmanship: Any participant who conducts himself or herself in an unsportsmanlike manner, or who is offensive in action or language to event officials, other participants, volunteers, or spectators may be disqualified. Protests concerning the conduct of participants will be accepted for up to 24 hours after the posting of results by contacting an event official or sending an email to info@tiger10k.com 

 

PARTICIPANT ENTRY AND RACE BIB

Application: All participants must provide accurate information, including age, gender, and emergency contact information, when filling out the event application. A participant may not change or add a team affiliation after an event has started.

Race Bib: Your official participant bib (running number) must be fully visible at all times and worn on the front of your torso. The timing device is attached to the back of your running number; in order to ensure an accurate time, please do not fold or wrinkle the bib or cover it with a jacket, runner belt, water bottle, or any other item. Participants who run the race without their bib properly attached and displayed risk not having their finish time and split times recorded, and not being listed in the results. Runners without race bibs may be stopped and prohibited to enter the finishing chute. If your bib is lost on the course, please report it to an event official after the race.

Transfers Permitted: Race registrations are now transferable to other participants and your race registration can now be transferred to other FJR events.  There are restrictions, potential fees, and timing requirements related to these options.  Any and all transfers MUST be completed using our RunSignUp registration site.  Instructions can be found in our FAQs.  Recording official transfers is important and mandatory as it ensures race officials have accurate emergency contact information and correct insurance waivers for all participants in the event.  A participant who does not wear his or her assigned race bib/tag, or who is found to have transferred, bought, or sold entry without completing the official, required process in RunSignUp will be disqualified and suspended from subsequent FJR events.

No Refunds: Entry fees are non-refundable. Participants may defer entry to the following event year within a specified time frame for a fee. Participants may change race distances for the current event year within a specified time frame at either no charge, or for a fee depending on the time frame and what distances the participant is moving between.

 

THE START

Start Corrals: Participants are responsible for arriving at the start corrals and entering at the designated corral entry points before the corral closing times. Any participant who climbs over a barricade or otherwise enters improperly may be disqualified. For participant safety, once a corral is closed for entry, late-arriving participants must report to the last corral. Please follow the instructions of event officials when entering corrals.

Race Start: The race will be started by an air horn or cannon unless otherwise noted. All participants must be behind the starting line at the start of the race and must follow the instructions of the race starter.

 

TIMING

Official Times: Your official (chip time) finish time is recorded by the timing system from when you cross the starting line to when you cross the finish line. Results are sorted by chip time and this determines the order of finish and award winners—except the Overall and Master's category awards, which are awarded based on gun time.  Gun time starts when the race officially starts (gun shot) and ends when you cross the finish line. Gun time and chip time are both shown in your results.  Start timing mats will be removed after the start of the race based on what the size of the field warrants. After the start has closed, no runners will be allowed to start the race. If a runner chooses to start, they must forfeit their bib and will not be considered an active participant in the event.

 

THE COURSE

Course Marking: FJR events (except for kids’ races) are conducted on USATF-certified courses. Participants must stay within course boundaries, as designated by barriers, traffic cones, delineation, and/or other markings, at all times; must recognize and understand event signage and symbols relating to the course, directions, and facilities; and must follow the instructions of course marshals. Failure to do so may result in disqualification.

Course Monitoring: If you have not completed the entire course, do not cross the finish line. Participants with missing or irregular split times at official timing checkpoints will be reviewed and may be disqualified. If you must leave the course, rejoin it only at the point at which you exited. No participant, after leaving the course, will be allowed to rejoin the race either for the purpose of gaining a place or to pace or assist another competitor.

Assistance: Unofficial pacers or other unregistered participants are not permitted. A participant who receives outside assistance during an event from anyone other than official medical personnel or designated water stations may be disqualified.

Bandits: No individual who is not officially registered may join the event or accompany any participant in the event. Any person without an official bib will be directed to leave the course immediately.  Any registered participant receiving assistance or pacing from a bandit may be disqualified.

 

THE FINISH

Time Limit: In the interest of safety, and to allow streets and drives to reopen as scheduled, race courses will remain open to all participants who are able to maintain an 18:00 minute-per-mile pace for the race distances. Some events may have a longer time frame, but all participants should be prepared to adhere to these standards.  Those participants who are not able to maintain this pace should be aware that fluid stations and other course amenities may not be available, and participants in races staged on city streets may be asked to move to the sidewalks and forfeit their race bib. Late participants will be able to cross the finish line, but they are not guaranteed to be timed and recorded as official finishers.

 

PROHIBITED ITEMS

The following items are prohibited from all FJR events and race venues:

A weapon of any kind, including firearms, knives, Mace, et cetera
Any dangerous item or “dual-use” item that could be considered dangerous, including hammers, saws, sharp objects, et cetera
Flammable liquids, fuels, fireworks, toxic chemicals, and explosives
Unmanned aerial devices, drones, survey balloons, photography mini-copters, and any flying device with an on/off switch
