Absolutely! Just please be sure that you're only picking up packets for people who know you're doing so (ie, tell your friends, first!).
Race day registration is only available if spots remain in the event. Our race is capped at 500 participants, and once that cap is met, all registration is closed!
Free parking is available at the Westerville Sports Complex. Please only park in marked spots, and do not park on the grass. We recommend planning to be on-site and parked at least thirty minutes before your event's start time.
The start/finish line for all distance events is located at the inflatable arch near the shelter building at the Westerville Sports Complex. The Kiddo Dashes will all take place near this area, too.
Our race does not have a gear check. If you are picking up materials on race day, please give yourself enough time to return any items to your vehicle that you don't need during the event.
There are restrooms near the start/finish line!
The 5K will have one on-course water station, and the 10K will have two on-course water stations. For the course maps, please click here.

Of course! We hope you can make it, but if life dictates that something else needs to happen that day, we get it! Participant transfers are possible through May 7, 2026, by following the instructions here.
