You think the Itsy Bitsy spider cared  about the rain?  No, it climbed up the spout again.  If it rains, be like Itsy Bitsy.  You got this.

Please wear your bibs on the front torso area.  DO NOT COVER YOUR RACE BIB WITH ANYTHING!  Hydration vests and other items covering your number may cause the timing chip not to read.  All distances are chip timed by RaceResult bib tag system. The chips are attached to the back of your bib and are disposable so we do not need them back.  Results are available immediately following your finish online, scan your race bib number to view your results.

As you finish your race, results are posted online and found by scanning the QR code on your race bib number.  Please check your results before you leave.  PLEASE PICK UP YOUR AGE GROUP AWARD AT THE EVENT - WE CANNOT MAIL AWARDS.
