CAN’T MAKE IT TO CHECK-IN?

(Bib numbers numbers must be picked up in person. Photo ID required. Make sure you know your bib number ahead of time.)

Important! Race shirts/bags will NOT be brought to the Village Green. Only bib numbers will be available. (We simply do not have the manpower to transport race swag to multiple locations. We have to clear the expo space as quickly as possible. ALL items are put into temporary storage and ALL hands are on deck to hold the race on Sunday.) Pursuant to the waiver agreed to at the time of registration, you will forfeit your race bag and shirt by waiting until race morning to pick up your bib number.

Note: Please contact the race directly with questions. We are simply renting the gymnasium from the YMCA; their staff will not be able to answer event-specific questions.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Apparel items are ordered in advance, based on the size requested at the time of registration, as well as estimated on the previous year's sizes if the race has not yet reached capacity when the order is place. Shirts are distributed at the expo on a first come, first served basis. We recommend picking up your race packet as early as possible for the best chance of getting the size you requested. There will be a shirt size exchange period beginning on Saturday at 3:00PM.)


No new registrations will be accepted at the Expo.
