Tips & Advice
- Sign up early, as waves can sell out quickly, especially for popular distances. Consider the virtual option if you can't make it in person or prefer to run on your own schedule.
- If you're aiming for a specific time, use a reliable running app like Strava or Runkeeper, or coordinate with the on-site coordinators for assistance with timing.
- Check your email the Wednesday before the race for a final update containing course maps and important details to ensure a smooth race day experience.
- While water and snacks are provided at aid stations, consider bringing your own hydration and fuel if you require more frequent support during your run.
- If you're bringing a stroller or a dog, be mindful of other participants and ensure they are leashed and well-behaved to maintain a positive environment for everyone.
