COLLECTING APACKET FOR ANOTHER RUNNER

If you have not purchased the add-on Race Day PPU options and are not able to pick up your own packet, Pacers Running allows for someone else to pick up for a runner.

• Please make sure that all runners involved know their packets are being collected as duplicates cannot be issued. Please do not randomly 'help' a friend and collect their packet for them without making plans first. 

• For courtesy reasons we limit pick up to one plus five – your own packet plus five for family and friends.

• For GROUPS, the same limits apply, your own plus five for identifiable group entries.   For 7+ runner groups of identifiable group entries, contact events@runpacers.com prior to August 31 to make special arrangements.
