Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Wear older clothing or a white/black shirt that you don't mind getting colored. The glow powder is vibrant and may stain.
- Bring cash or card for vendors, and a towel for your car seat, as the glow powder can transfer.
- Arrive early, as check-in gates open two hours before the event start time to allow for parking and entry.
- Consider purchasing tickets in advance, as they often sell out and there are no at-the-gate sales.
- While not a competitive race, comfortable shoes are recommended for the 3-5k course.
