To ensure we are able to make your race day as special as possible, please make every effort to pick up your packet during one of these times and locations.

In the event you are coming from out of town and can not pick up your packet prior to race day, please send us an email, and we will allow you to pick up your packet on race day between 7:00AM-8:00AM. If you would like someone to pick up your race packet, please provide them with a copy of your registration confirmation.

Race Day: We will be onsite by 7:00am for packet and chip pickup, as well as race day registration. To ensure we can start the race on time, please plan to be onsite at least an hour prior to race to pick up your timing chip. Please note, we may not be able to allow registrations within 45 minutes of the race starting, or check in within 30 minutes of the race start. Check-in will be at the blue tent near the finish line.

Parking: The school has ample parking available.  Please plan to enter the school at the south entrance, and park in the rear parking lot of the school.  Volunteers and vendors can utilize the front parking lot, but no athletes will be permitted to park, enter, drive through or drop off at the front of the school.  Please fill the rear parking lot before utilizing the south drive for parking.  Should the parking become full, you will be directed where to park, which may involve parking in the grass field adjacent to the rear parking lot, weather permitting.
