Early Packet Pickup - Mandatory

NO Race Day Packet Pickup
Due to the size of the race we are requesting runners to pick up packets ( race number - shirt -  ) at convenient pick up locations on the 13th. 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 making a mandatory 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
