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.
