Tips & Advice
- Consider doing a practice run in your costume to ensure comfort and avoid chafing during the race.
- The course passes the start/finish aid station multiple times, allowing you to easily access personal drop bags or shed layers.
- Since the race is low-key and non-competitive, focus on enjoying the experience and running your own race.
- Take advantage of the flush toilets and sinks with running water at the aid stations, a welcome amenity compared to port-o-potties.
- Walkers are welcome, so don't hesitate to participate even if you prefer walking over running.
