A WALK-THRU OF RACE DAY
Part 1: Pre-Race

Getting You Ready Before Your Race:


Practice what you trained. Nothing new on race day. A familiar pre-run breakfast and a familiar previously-tested-on-a-run race day outfit!

If you need to pick up your packet on race day, packet pickup will be open from 6 am to 6:50 am for the 5K, and 7:30-8:20 am for the half and full marathon. Give yourself enough time to take your packet back to your car and get your bib pinned on to your front (never pin your racing bib to your back).

Parking is at the race site. Print this PDF and put it in your car now!

Your race bib has a starting corral indicated on it. This race operates by a wave start to spread out the runners. It's very important you understand how the wave start works. Read more about it...

If you need water before the race starts, please bring it. There will be no water available before the start.

There are both indoor restrooms and portalets. Portalets are against the parking lot by the race start/finish. Indoor restrooms are shown here on the parking map PDF. If one line looks long, try another location. Get in line early! There can never be enough potties to prevent a line if everyone waits until the last minute to try and go!

There is NO Bag Check since the parking is onsite.

Half and full marathoners can utilize the Drop Bag tent. Make sure you understand how this area works

If you trained with a nutrition strategy that has you fueling during the run, pack that fave item, like energy gels, the night before so you have it with you at the start line.


Thank your packet pickup volunteers too! They are all running the race but gave up their very early morning to also help!

Race Day Morning Packet Pickup:
6:20 am - 5K packet pickup opens
6:50 am - 5K packet pickup closes
7:00 am - 5K start (multiple start corrals with staggered wave start)

7:10 am - Half and Full Marathon packet pickup opens
8:30 am - Half and Full Marathon packet pickup closes
8:40 am - Half and Full Marathon race start (multiple start corrals with staggered wave start)

In trying to keep the line moving, we will only hand out the packet for that day, not both days.

Note that packet pickup ends several minutes before that race starts so the volunteers (who are also running) can get ready to run too!

You must take the shirt you are given before the race. You may switch sizes after the race.
