Frequently Asked Questions
Will water be provided?
Individual water bottles will be placed at water stations along the course just past the 1 1-mile marker and again after the 2 2-mile marker. We please ask that runners dispose of these bottles in a race-provided garbage can. We also encourage participants to bring their own water bottles and/or hydration backpacks to the race.
Where do I pick up my race packet?
For dates and times please visit the website HERE. Please note that day-of packet pickup will not be permitted.
How will scoring be conducted?
Every runner will be provided with a disposable timing tag which will be affixed to the race bib. AccuChipUSA will record net timing for each participant, which is the elapsed time between when a runner crosses the timing mats at the start and finish lines.
