FAQs
Questions? We’ve got answers! Check out the FAQs for everything you need to know about the Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10k presented by Kroger, from race day logistics to course details and more.
What is the difference between Seeded and Non-Seeded Waves?
Great question! Seeded Waves require qualifying proof of time. Seeded waves are reserved for runners who are capable of finishing the Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10k faster than 63 minutes AND can provide a proof of time.
You may use the following items as proof of time:
- 2024 or 2025 Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10k finish time
- Results from any other race since January 1, 2024, which could include:
- Finisher’s certificate
- Printed race result
- Direct Link to website results (In order for our computer program to verify your time you must provide a direct link to your results. If you don’t use a link we can access, you run the risk of being assigned to a non-seeded wave.)
- We can convert any race, from a 5k up to a marathon, into an 10k Time Conversion Chart.
- You may email ([email protected]) a picture of your running app, watch, or treadmill. Make sure to include time and distance.
Non-seeded waves are open to participants with a predicted finish time over 63 minutes OR those without qualifying proof of time.
Can I defer my 10k entry?
Well, that depends. You can defer your 2026 Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10k entry to 2027 as long as you do it before March 25, 2026. You can only defer your entry for one year and there is a $15 fee.
To defer your entry:
Sign into your RunSignup account > Profile > Upcoming Events > Manage Registration > Defer Registration.
Note: YMCA 10k Training Team participants cannot defer their race entry since it is a benefit of training.
