Packet pick-up and an expo occur in Bronson Park on the day before the races, with a day-of packet pick-up available on race day. The PNC Kids' 1K has an additional early packet pick-up at Gazelle Sports downtown. Virtual events are offered for multiple distances; virtual registration includes a bib, tech shirt, and finisher medal with shipping, and virtual participants submit results online during the designated window. Virtual packets are scheduled to be mailed the week of May 4, 2026.
