NO RACE DAY PACKET PICKUP

Due to the size of the race we are requesting runners to pick up packets ( race number - shirt - Halloween bag) at one of our 2 convenient locations on the 24th and 25th. 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 requesting everyone attend early pick up so that race day will go smoothly for all. We do understand some will not be able to make this and we ask that you reach out to us. We will approve race day pick up on a case by case basis. Thank you for your understanding -

Please submit any questions you might have through the race website.

At the top of your registration email there is a icon " ADD TO APPLE WALLET" BUT if you are picking up for multiple people it will be easier to have printed registrations for each person or have all in your Apple Wallet. It is important to have the barcode visible that is on your registration as this is how we will check you in.
