Upon arriving onsite participants must check in for a temperature scan and utilize the available hand sanitizer prior to registering or picking up their bib.
Please do not warm up prior to having your temperature taken at check in.
Bibs assignments have been aligned to each PREregistrant's EXPECTED FINISH TIME and will be used to establishing the participants start time AND release order.
