ARRIVAL AND PARKING
We recommend arriving at least 45 minutes before your race to allow time for parking, check-in, and warm-up. There is plenty of parking available on-site.

RACE PREPARATION
Your race bib must be attached to the front of your shirt at navel height. Please do not fold, bend, or alter the bib as it contains a timing chip that must remain intact for proper race timing. Please note that Children's 1K runners are not chip-timed.

STARTING LINE PROTOCOL
For a smooth and safe race start, please position yourself according to your anticipated pace. Faster runners should line up at the front, with joggers and slower runners positioning themselves in the middle. Walkers should start at the back of the group. This staging arrangement ensures safety and smooth race flow for all participants.

FACILITIES AND AMENITIES
Restrooms are available on-site. Finisher medals will be distributed at the finish line chute. The post-race party will feature refreshments, food, and complimentary beer for participants.

SPECTATOR GUIDELINES
For everyone's safety, spectators must remain on curbs and sidewalks and stay clear of the race course. Please maintain close supervision of children and pets at all times and follow all race officials' instructions.
