Conflicting Race Times on Tomorrow's 5k

Hi All,
I decided to drop in on a 5k tomorrow and just do race day registration. One part of the website says "Time: 8am". Another part says "Check-In Time: 9am". This is my first official race (even if it is a whim). When should I be there? I don't understand when the actual race is?

I really hope this isn't a sign. :(

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Take a close look on their website as they usually list a contact person (by phone number or e-mail) This is your best bet for accurate info as a lot of races vary in how they are run. (some don't even allow same day registration)

    I got it all figured out. There was a race followed by a walk so there were times for each listed. On a related happy note, there was same day registration and I did complete the race! I ran the whole way (a first for me) and made it in 42:54. Not stellar overall but amazing fr a beginner like me. Might even try C25K now!
