Participants who complete all three races receive a Tour de Patrick gift and a finisher's medal, to be collected at the Shamrock Shuffle finish. Pre-race packet pickup is scheduled at Marathon Sports, 1 Providence Place, on the days before the race; race day packet pickup is at the parking lot on Smith Street across from the State House. Pre-registered entrants receive a race t-shirt; shirts are not guaranteed for walk-up registrants.
