GENERAL FAQ:
What time should I get there on race day?
Please plan on arriving at least 45 minutes before the start of your race to give you enough time to park and walk to the starting area.
Can I change my race distance?
Yes – please do so ASAP! Send an email to racedirector@ymcatvidaho.org, or tell a staff member at packet pickup that you’d like to change.
If you decide to change distances mid race, please find a race official as soon as you finish and tell them which distance you changed to & share your bib # so we can update your profile in our system. This helps us know who is on the course and when we have all the runners in.
Are Stollers allowed?
Yes, although we ask that strollers line up at the back of the group for safety reasons.
Are Dogs Allowed?
Dogs must be on leash at all times.
My child is racing in the 1 mile, can I run with them?
Yes, you may run with your child if you yourself are registered for the same race. Infants being pushed in strollers do not need to be registered, but the parent does. Please do not wear your bib if you are running in a different race.
Will anyone be taking professional photos?
Idaho Sports Pics will be at the race taking pictures and will have photos available for purchase after the race here: https://www.idahosportspics.com/
Where is the timing chip?
Your timing chip is on the back of your bib. Do not bend your bib/timing chip. Everyone is timed. Results will be available after the race for you to check if you'd like. Your bib MUST be on the front of your body!
PACKET PICKUP FAQ:
Where do I get my shirt and bib?
You will get your shirt at packet pickup.
Can I check in & pick up bibs for a friend, too? Do I need my ID?
Yes you can – we just need first and last names. Please let the staff member or volunteer know when you arrive at a computer that you’re picking up for more than one family. No ID needed.
Where do I get my shirt? Can I change sizes?
T-shirts can be picked up at Packet Pickup, either on Friday or on Saturday morning. A volunteer will write the shirt size you designated at registration on the back of your bib, then you will take your bib number over to the t-shirt table. You must have a bib number to pick up a shirt.
If you'd like to change your shirt size, you can email us at racedirector@ymcatvidaho.org
***There are NO exchanges during Packet Pickup or until after the race - you can take your shirt to the Registration tent at the end of the race to see if your preferred shirt size is still available.***
Late or Day-of registrations are not guaranteed a shirt - it is based on availability. In some instances, we may reorder more shirts and will email participants when they arrive, but this is based on demand.
