Unless you pick up the day before, you must come to the registration table to get your bib and get checked in before your race.
EVENT T-SHIRTS:
If you registered before the 4/15 shirt deadline, you must pick your shirt up during packet pick up times. All shirts that are not picked up by end of the races on 5/10 will be offered to other participants who did not get a shirt.
If you registered after our 4/15 t-shirt deadline, we will have a limited number of extra event shirts available at the event. Stop by the registration table after the races to see if we have one for you.
If you registered for a virtual event and paid for shipping, your shirt will arrive the week of 5/15.

Awards will be given the top men’s and women’s overall finishers for the 5-Mile and 5K events, as well as the top 3 finishers for each event in age categories (in 5 year increments) starting at 14 and under and up to 70+.
Our Team Spirit award will be given to the team with the largest number of members
PARKING:
Please arrive early and give yourself plenty of time to park. Be cautious of runners warming up in and around the park. Please follow the event parking signs to the designated parking lot. There will be no parking in front of the stadium or behind the stadium--ALL CARS MUST BE PARKED IN THE LOT ACROSS IRONPIGS WAY.
If you must leave early before the finish of the race it is highly recommended, you park along Union Boulevard, otherwise you must wait until the parking attendant can guide you safely around any runners in the park to exit only on Union Boulevard. For safety reasons, American Parkway and Union Blvd. entrances will be closed by 8:50 am.
