PACKETS
Race morning is a breeze! Packet pick-up is available both the day before and on race morning.
PLAN YOUR RACE DAY
Spend a few minutes to plan your arrival. Figure out how long it will take to get to the venue and allow a little extra time for possible traffic.
ARRIVE EARLY
Never hurts to budget extra time! Stretch, sip a coffee, use the restroom, and grab your packet before heading to the start line.
READY...SET...
Based on what wave you choose during registration, you'll know what time you need to be there and lined up to start. This is your moment!
GO!
Once we release your wave onto the course, enjoy your 5K! We’ll be waiting at the finish line with a cup of apple cider to celebrate!
