Event guide

Everything you need for a RunThrough USA race day. Each event page carries the specifics (start times, the route, parking and any cut-off). This is the bit that’s the same everywhere.

Race guides

The full race-day guide for each event, as a PDF — open it here or download it for the day.

Before race day

  • Your confirmation email arrives as soon as you enter; race-week information follows a few days before the event.
  • Bib numbers and timing chips are collected on the day at the event village. Bring the name you entered with.
  • Check the event page for your distance's start time, laps and any cut-off (some parks require one).
  • Need to change distance or transfer to a friend? Manage it through Let's Do This before entries close.

On the day

  • The event village opens around 90 minutes before the first race, so arrive early to collect your bib and warm up.
  • A secure bag drop is available; attach the tag from your bib and travel light.
  • Routes are fully marshalled and marked with distance flags; water stations are on course for longer distances.
  • Headphones are fine on park courses. Keep one ear free so you can hear marshals.

After the finish

  • Collect your unique themed medal and post-race goodies as you cross the line.
  • Chip-timed results are published on race day and added to your RunThrough Rankings profile.
  • Free professional photos are uploaded within a few days. Search by bib number.

Spectators & supporters

  • Spectators are always welcome. The event village is the best spot to catch both the start and the finish.
  • Dogs and strollers: check the event page, as venue rules vary by park.
