Timing is optional; there are no timing chips and runners may track time with personal apps or request coordinator assistance. Results and certificates are posted online.
Participant items are shipped to a US mailing address and race bibs are provided on race day. Typical swag includes a running T shirt shipped the week of the race, a finisher towel or giveaway, a finisher medal, and a digital training pack. Technical shirts are available as a paid upgrade. Final race details and course information are emailed in advance.
