RACE DAY PACKET PICKUP
Due to the size of the race we are requesting runners to pick up packets ( race number - shirt - giveaway ) at one of our 3 convenient locations on the 24th, 25th and 26th. Runners can pick up multiple packets for friends and family. The size of the race and items to be given will make a race day packet pick up very difficult for our volunteers and runners so we are making a mandatory early pick up so that race day will go smoothly for all. We do understand some will not be able to make or will be coming in from out of town and we ask that you reach out to us. We will approve race day pick up on a case by case basis. Just send us an email to [email protected] Thank you for your understanding - GOBBLE GOBBLE
