Event Description
Who likes to run and golf at the same time? Speed-golf players and novelty-seekers do!  This event has participants playing 36 holes of golf on a Par-3 course, while running from shot to shot.  Participant scores are determined by added the total number of strokes taken, with the total time elapsed to complete to 36 holes. 

Distance
The total running distance is 5K, which comprises two 18-hole rounds of the Fiddler's Green Par-3 course.

Location
Fiddler's Green Golf Course - Junction City, Oregon.

Course
The course is "of course," flat, fast and scenic - it's on a golf course.  The 18-hole golf course will be completed twice to constitute a 5K total distance.  Click here for a COURSE MAP.


Event Rules (Please print before arriving at the event)
1) Each participant may carry up to three golf clubs and up to five golf balls (fanny packs are recommended).  A few extra clubs will be available at the start, to borrow, based on a first-come, first-served basis.
2) Participants will start in three minute intervals, based on their projected 5K time and 36 hole stroke total.
3) A participants' time will start when they leave the starting line, not when they hit their first shot.
4) If a participant is about to hit "into" another participant, they must yell "fore" before striking their ball, but may not strike the ball until the participant in front has waved them on to hit.
5) Participants may play through and participants that are "caught" must allow a faster participant to play through, yielding the next tee if necessary.
6) Penalty shot rule - if a shot is out-of-bounds or in the water, then there is a one-stroke penalty and the next shot will be struck from the point of the penalty infraction (either where the out-of-bounds ball left the field of play, or on the grass adjacent to where the ball entered the water).
7) Participants must replace divets and repair ball marks before proceeding.
8) The golf course is an 18-hole course, which will be played twice through in order to complete a 5K distance and a 36-hole total.  Upon coming off of hole number 18, participants must come back through the starting area - if there are no other participants waiting to start on either of their two 18-hole laps, then a participant may continue play after checking in - if participants are waiting to play, then a participant that is coming off of the first 18-hole lap, will have their time suspended and will be given a signal as to when they may continue.
9) Participants must follow all direction signs on the course or be disqualified.  Bright yellow signs will indicate where the next tee box is located, bright green signs will indicate where the next green is located.
10) All participants will be responsible for keeping their own score - this event is based on the "honor" system.  Score cards, kept throughout the event (updated after each hole) must be turned into the scoring tent no later than 15 minutes after the completion of 36 holes (and crossing the finish line). 
11) All participants must follow all directions from course marshals located on each hole.
12) There will be a warm-up period to preview the course from 7am to 7:55am - after this time, participants are not allowed out onto the course, any further than the #1 tee box for inspection.
13) Any participant that hits a hole-in-one, will receive a 5-minute time deduction from their total score.
14) If a participants' ball lands on a "man-made" hazard, then that participant is entitled to drop their ball, one club-length from the edge of the hazard.
15) A participants' total score will be based on a combination of the toal elapsed time to run the 5K distance, and the total stroke count to play 36 holes.  For example: If Pat Hacker has a total running time of 58 minutes and 32 seconds, and a total stroke count of 90, then the total event score for Pat would be 148:32.
16) Have a lot of fun!
