Pro Tips (because you know race mornings can get spicy)
Arrive early, parking + lines can sneak up on you
Dress for the weather, not your couch temperature
Pin your bib before you leave the house (future you will be grateful)
Coffee first then race hot beveragefemale sign
Bib Placement (READ THIS!)
Your race bib must be worn:

check mark button On your FRONT (torso)
check mark button On your OUTER-MOST layer

If your bib is covered by a jacket, hoodie, or any layer
IT MAY NOT READ
which means no time, no results, no glory

Think of your bib like your race passport if its hidden, you dont exist to the timing system.

THE ARTHRITIS FOUNDATION in Honor of Analisa Rojas, our niece who has been battling (and thriving) with Juvenile Arthritis since the age of only 18 months.

Too many children live with the restraints of arthritis pain and the diseases effects not only on their joints, but also on their organs and systems. With the added burden of frequent doctor visits and daily living limitations, the emotional toll of childhood arthritis and other rheumatic conditions is significant. Despite significant progress due to the use of biologics to treat juvenile arthritis (JA), more research and treatments are urgently needed. Arthritis Foundation is committed to research investments that are guided by the needs of JA patients and their families.
