Due to the size of the race we are requesting runners to pick up packets ( race number - shirt - ) at convenient pick up locations on the 13th. 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.
