Tips & Advice

  • Pick up your bib, shirt, and swag the Friday before the race at the Beth-El Center to avoid morning lines on race day.
  • Park in the lot next to the boatyard or behind Archie Moore's, and do not park at the apartments across the street to avoid being towed.
  • Stay near the finish line tent after completing the course to check results and claim any earned age group awards, as awards cannot be mailed.
