Yes, you may pick up someone else's race packet as long as they know who will be picking it up for them ahead of time and they give permission to that individual. Once we give out a person's race packet, we can not reissue it since that bib will be assigned specifically to them. 

Yes, someone can pick up your race packet but they need to make you aware before doing so. 

No, dogs are not allowed on the course. We are sorry, this is a City of Independence stipulation for these events.

Strollers are allowed on course. Please stay to the right and towards the back of the starting corral unless passing other runners.

Yes, headphones/earbuds are allowed during the race but please ensure that you are following all directions and aware of your surroundings the entire time. Please ensure that your volume level is soft enough where you can hear nearby sirens. 

Yes, every participant will receive a participant shirt when they pick up their participant packet at packet pickup, and receive their finisher medal once they cross the finish line. 

Please Note: When registering, you must select your shirt size. If you select the "No Shirt" option, you will not be provided with a shirt. If you select the wrong shirt size when registering and need to exchange your size, unfortunately, you won't be able to do so until AFTER the race has started but we cannot guarantee your size will be available. 

No, there will not be any gear check. If you have personal belongings, please leave them either in the car or give them to a family member or friend who will be spectating. 

Yes, there is race-day registration until about 8:30am or sooner. Once the race starts, no one else will be allowed to register or cross the start line. We recommend arriving at least 1 hour before the race to ensure enough time. 

Yes, there is free parking onsite in the Bass Pro Shops parking lot. When you arrive onsite, please follow all arrows and directions. 

Yes! For the 5K, water will be provided at approximately mile 1.5 and at the finish line.
