All the glorious details are waiting for you on the Race Swag page. Go check it out; we could list it all here, but that page has pictures and probably looks better on your screen anyway.

Ah, so you’re going full royalty. The Roast Royalty Package is detailed on the VIP Packages page. Think of it as the velvet rope version of race day, with extra perks, priority treatment, and the same quality roasting, just delivered with a touch more class.

It’s our promise to treat you like an actual human and not just a bib number. The Athlete First Initiative includes flexible, athlete-friendly policies that protect you from life’s curveballs. Visit the Athlete First Initiative page for all the details. 

You bet. We’ve got multiple ways to save a few bucks because running shoes aren’t cheap. Check out the Discounts and Referral Rewards page for all the deals and how to earn them.

Yep! We’ll keep registration open until the start of the race. QR codes will be available at packet pickup to take you straight to the registration page. Once you get your confirmation email, swing by packet pickup to check in and prepare to be lovingly mocked.

No worries, it happens to the best of us. You can manage add-ons through your RunSignup profile or by clicking the Manage Registration link in your confirmation email. For a full walkthrough (because who doesn’t love extra steps?), click HERE for detailed instructions.

It’s exactly what it sounds like, peace of mind for your race fee. Registration insurance is offered through a 3rd party provider, Protecht RegShield, and must be purchased at the time of registration. The insurance covers your registration fees if you are unable to attend the event for a varity of reasons. For more information and details please click HERE.

To file a claim click the "File A Refund Request" button at the bottom of your confirmation email or click HERE.

You guessed it, all the details are on the Packet Pickup page. We could tell you here, but we already wrote it once and it looks really good over there.

Yes, you can! Just be aware that lines might be longer than a drive-thru line at midnight. The race will start on time, so plan ahead and don’t make us use you as a “don’t be that runner” example.

All the good stuff is listed on the Race Swag page. Go take a peek and get excited for the gear you’ll be sweating through.

Sorry, no. We order everything in advance based on what you selected during registration. Changing sizes at pickup could leave someone else shirtless, and this isn’t that kind of race. If we have extras after the event, you can swing by the volunteer check-in tent to trade.

Right where it’s always been, on the Packet Pickup page. We love consistency.

Absolutely. Just make sure your friend brings your registration QR code from your confirmation email. That same email will also be sent again about 30 minutes before packet pickup starts, just in case you deleted it while cleaning out your inbox.

We’re taking over The Water Works in Buffalo Bayou Park, with the race happening along those beautiful trails along Buffalo Bayou. For all the details, maps, and where not to accidentally park in a mud puddle, check the Parking, Site, & Course Map page.

All the times and details live on the Event Day Schedule page. It’s the perfect place to see when to run, when to laugh, and when to collapse into a food truck.

VIPs get on-site parking because, well, that’s part of the royalty treatment. Everyone else can park downtown and catch our free parking shuttles. See the Parking, Site, & Course Map page for the full plan before you circle aimlessly like it’s the mall parking lot at Christmas.

Yes! Free parking shuttles will run from downtown. Details are on the Parking, Site, & Course Map page, because we love repeating ourselves almost as much as we love free transportation.

Pure magic. Comedians and roasters will be stationed along the course, ready to deliver jokes, heckles, and encouragement (the kind that hurts a little). Leave your ego in the car and get ready to laugh your way to the finish line.

General admission is open festival seating, so bring a chair, blanket, or supreme sense of balance. VIP packages include reserved seating if you’d rather not risk sitting in the grass with the rest of us commoners.

Yes, the course cutoff is 6:30 pm. Anyone still on the course after that will be lovingly redirected off-trail before the comedians start roasting the lighting crew instead.

We adore dogs, but no, they can’t attend. The comedians would lose focus, and honestly, we can’t risk the pups stealing all the attention.

Yes! There will be two water stations along the route and one at the finish line. Stay hydrated; roasting and running both burn calories.

Please keep in mind we are a cupless race so you will need to carry your own hydration or the cup that was provided in your race packet. 

Totally. Just keep one ear open so you can hear safety instructions, other runners, and, most importantly, the jokes. You didn’t sign up to miss the punchlines.
