When Will the Race Packets Ship?

We’ll begin shipping items on March 27. We do not recommend you rely on Facebook or our Pat’s Run Facebook group for the latest information on shipping, unless it is from our official account. Once we start shipping your items, you will receive an email with tracking information using the email you provided at registration for all participants in your order. 

How will I know my race packet has shipped?

For Honor Run and virtual participants, we will send you a shipping confirmation email with your unique tracking link when your package ships so you can follow it on its path to your mailing address. If you have multiple registrants that share the same mailing address, all of the items may be in one race packet. Please check with the other members of your household to see if they have received an email with your tracking number. 

In-person participants have the option to have their race packet mailed to them for an additional fee.  For only $10, the Pat's Run team will mail your Race Shirt, Race Bib and other merchandise to you ahead of race day.  Packet mailing option is per participant and must be selected for each individual that would like their packet mailed to them.  You must purchase by March 20, 2023 to take advantage of this option.

How come I got charged per registration for shipping and handling even though multiple items were sent to the same Household?

All race items are being fulfilled by a local small business in Tempe, Arizona. This cost per registration is to help pay for the costs of packing and shipping each item. Items MAY be consolidated into one package but it is not guaranteed.

The waiver form for each participant is the responsibility of that participant and that of parent or guardian of any minor-aged participants.

No — but kids registered for the in-person race in Tempe or a virtual race will get a special prize!
