Logistics and policies
The event is timed by RunningLane using RFID chips in race bibs; official time begins when a participant crosses the starting line. Bib and t-shirt pickup is available at Fleet Feet locations the days before the race and on race day inside Spragins Hall; t-shirts are limited and sizes are not guaranteed. Strollers and wheelchairs are allowed but should start at the back of the field for safety. Dogs are not allowed on the course; leashed dogs may stay at the sidelines. The race will be canceled only if weather makes conditions unsafe; in that case there is no rescheduling or refund. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
