Event Details
The event is described as a smaller, private group run with a cap per wave. All paces and ages are welcome, with participants under 18 requiring a guardian. The run has no official timing chips; participants can optionally track their own time via apps like Strava or Runkeeper and submit results online. Race coordinators are present to offer support.
Participants receive a swag bag that includes a running t-shirt (shipped to US addresses), a finisher's medal, and a finisher's towel or giveaway. Technical running shirts are available for an additional fee. Race bibs are provided on the day of the event.
The event operates on a wave start system, with waves filling on a first-come, first-served basis. Late runners can start upon arrival within a 3-hour window after the first wave. Participants are encouraged to dress in green, festive gear. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
