Bib Pickup Details All registered runners will collect their race bib at the designated pickup area. Please bring a form of ID or your confirmation email to make the process smooth and easy. T-Shirts & Merchandise If you pre-ordered a t-shirt during registration, you’ll receive it when you pick up your bib. Didn’t order a t-shirt in advance? No worries! T-shirts will be available for sale on race day (while stocks last). Payment Method: All race-day transactions require a credit card – we won’t be accepting cash. Items Included in Race Pack Bib Number - Your bib number is an essential piece of gear. It's your identification during the race and is crucial for accurate timing and results. Baggage Label - The baggage label helps organize and identify your belongings. It's used when you drop off your baggage before the race and collect it afterward. Timing Chip - The timing chip ensures an accurate recording of your race time. It's built into your bib number — there's no separate shoe tag, so just wear your bib on your front and you're timed.
