Packet pickup occurs on the Friday prior to the race from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM and on Saturday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM at the Oxford Valley Mall in the Macy’s Court. Packets can also be collected on race day.
Free parking is available at the lot directly across from the Sesame Place entrance. Additional parking can be found at the Oxford Valley Mall.
On race day, a DJ provides music, and Sesame Workshop characters are present for photos and interactions. Volunteers from the Kiwanis Club are on hand to assist. After finishing, participants can take water, pretzels, and bananas.
Teams with 20 or more registrants earn $5 per registrant, and the team with the most registrants wins the Sesame Spirit Award. The event is run entirely by volunteers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
