The Lucky Kidney Run is a HYBRID event. You have the option to participate live/in-person or virtually. Select the preference you are most comfortable with during registration. You may change your selection at any time between now and race day. If you register to participate in-person, but change your mind closer to race day, you may easily change your selection to virtual with no change fees.

There are festivities, awards for top finishers, music and entertainment.Race shirt and packet pickup will be held prior to race day. You may pick up your own packet as well as packets for a whole team/family/etc. You may also pick up your items on race day beginning at 1 p.m. We strongly encourage you to pickup packets IN ADVANCE. Race Bib. If you are running competitively in the 6k in-person, make sure your bib has a timing chip inside. The bib should be thicker and firmer. If you are walking the 6k or running/walking the 1 mile, your bib should NOT have a timing chip inside. It will be thin and flimsy, similar to water resistant paper.Results. Results will be posted and announced by event staff after the conclusion of the race, in person.

VIRTUAL Race Details:

Virtual means you register for the event as you usually would, you run/walk wherever and whenever you like, then upload your results until you reach your goal distance. There is so much flexibility with virtual, you can even complete portions of the event on different days and see cool milestone rewards as you get closer to your goal. You don't have to run the whole distance at once. You may run anytime during the week of the event, for your convenience, and we ask that you truthfully record your final time when reporting your virtual results.  Reporting time is optional. (For reporting results, you must have a bib number, and you must NOT select "anonymous" for the participant lookup feature. You will see this when you register. You will receive a bib number after registering.)Results. You have until the evening of March 17, at 11:59pm to post your results. Results entry will close at that point.
