RACE INFORMATION

We will have water stations along the course but we encourage you to bring your own water to ensure you stay extra hydrated. Please note that the roads along the course will be closed and patrolled by local CB Rangers and City Police. If there is an emergency, call 9-1-1.

Packet Pick-Up will be in the Butler Y Lobby on Friday, June 27th. If you’re unable to pick up your packet at that time, day-of packet pick-up will be available during check-in. ALL PACKETS REMAINING AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE EVENT WILL BE DONATED. Packets will not be stored for pick-up at a later date.

Day-of registration will be available from 7:30AM–9AM in Diamond Park. Cash or check ONLY! 

100% of the proceeds stay local! The Annual Support Campaign funds programs and services for children, families, and seniors in Butler County to ensure that everyone, regardless of age, income, and background, can learn, grow, and thrive.

If events are canceled for any reason, no refunds will be offered, and no rain date is scheduled. No deferrals or transfers are offered.
