Tips & Advice
- Register by October 13th to guarantee your race shirt size, as shirts are an optional add-on and not included in the base registration fee.
- Consider arriving early on race morning, as packet pickup is available from 7:00 AM to 8:30 AM near the start line.
- If you're running the Kids Dash with a child, you can accompany them without registering, but please line up at the back to allow independent runners to start first.
- While all participants receive medals, only those in the 5K will have age group awards, so plan accordingly if you're aiming for competitive recognition.
- Don't forget to check your email for a potential discount code if you participated in the fall run club series, as this may offer savings on your registration.
