Packet Pick-up will be at Springhill Suites in Atascadero on January 3, 2026 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

We will also have race-day registration and packet pickup.  Please note, though--there is very limited cell service at the race site, so we can only accept cash or checks on race day.  Also, parking space is limited, and you may have to walk some distance from your vehicle to the starting area, so we encourage you to carpool if at all possible and leave enough time to get to the start line.
