Tips & Advice
- Choose your preferred wave and email the organizers early, since waves fill first-come, first-served and close when their caps are reached.
- Provide a complete, correctly spelled U.S. mailing address, including your apartment number, so your shirt and swag can be shipped to you.
- If registering within two weeks of the race, wear a suitable shirt from home because the mailed event shirt may arrive afterward.
- Pick up your race bib on race day; packet pickup is not needed because swag is mailed to your registered address.
- If you want a recorded time, use a running app and submit it online; timing chips aren't used, and coordinators can also help.
Special Events & Promotions
- A virtual run option is available.
- Technical running shirts are available as an optional upgrade.
- A discount is available when you sign up for multiple races.
