Registration for the virtual event opens March 2, 2026 and closes May 16, 2026. The registration fee for each option is $50.00.
Proceeds from the event will benefit Girard College athletics. Participants will receive a commemorative t-shirt at sign-in; shirt size must be selected during registration.
