Coordinators remain available for several hours after the first wave.
Registered participants receive race items mailed to their US address. Included items are a running T-shirt, a finisher's towel or giveaway, a finisher's medal, a digital training pack, online results and a certificate of completion. Technical running shirts are available as an optional upgrade for an additional fee. Race bibs are provided on race day and organizers send a final update by email the week of the event.
