Participation and logistics

Entry fees vary by registration period: preview, early bird, regular, late, and race day pricing are specified by the organizer. Virtual registration has its own pricing and closes before the event. Participants registered by January 28 are guaranteed race swag in their size; after that, swag is while supplies last.

Water stations will be available approximately every 1.5 miles. Packet pickup is held on race morning starting one hour before the event. The event supports RaceJoy for live phone tracking, GPS progress alerts, and in-app cheers; using RaceJoy requires carrying a phone and activating tracking.
