HYDRATION STATIONS / NUTRITION
Participants will cross hydration stations roughly every two miles on the course. Hydration Stations will be equipped with the following: water, sports drink, GU gels/fuel. Please do not litter on course and dispose of your trash at the hydration stations. We do have a team that sweeps the entire course for garbage post race, but please make their life easier and do not litter on the course.
GEAR CHECK
Your cars will be nearby so this shouldn't be too much of an issue. However, you're welcome to check your gear at the BLUE SoleKIDs tent. Please place clothing only (NO VALUABLES) in YOUR bag, mark your bib number on the outside. The volunteers at the merch tent will have tape & markers for you to label your bags! When you finish the race, head back over there to collect your gear.
PICTURES
You all have the best cameras in the palm of your hand. While race pictures of yesteryear were so cool, it's hard to justify the expense to our amazing photography professionals with the hope of you purchasing a race picture. Simply, it's just not worth it for us to bring folks out there. So you're on your own!!! We will have a live stream at the finish!!!
TOILETS
Portable toilets and hand washing stations will be available in the start / finish area and at each aid station.
RACE CONTACT
We're just not good at mass emails so please take the time to look outside of your inbox for race information. If you have any questions/concerns email racedirector@solekids.org and we're real quick to respond. Two days before the race we are extremely limited to email access and your last minute questions may go unanswered as we're out getting ready for you.
