Race Day Info & FAQs

When does online registration close?: 

Online Registration closes on Race Day: Thursday, Nov. 28th, 2024, at 7:45 AM.

 

Can I sign up on the day of the race?:

While we strongly suggest registering prior to the day of the event, we will have volunteers on-site to help you register and get ready to go! Please be sure to get there early—registration will shut down at 7:45 AM. The race will begin at 8:00 AM SHARP! 

 

You're out of shirts - can I still get one?:

Unfortunately, once we are out of shirts, we're out! However, you are welcome to call our office the week after the race to see if we have any unclaimed shirts (only if you did not received one already)

 

Where can I park?:

Parking is available in the Acequia and Bridge parking garage, in public city parking lots, or in any open street parking. Please remember that some streets will have limited access due to closures for our race route. As a friendly reminder, be sure to lock your vehicles! 

 

What about Pets?:

While we adore our furry friends, their presence at our event could compromise their safety and that of our participants. For this reason, we have a strict no-pets policy at the Race Against Hunger. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Your safety is our top priority.

 

Do I have to pay for my child to be in a stroller?: 

We welcome the whole family, including children in strollers! We only ask that runners with strollers start in the back of the line to prohibit any safety concerns. Children 0-4 can ride in a stroller for free but do not receive a shirt. T-shirts can be purchased for $10.00 on a first-come, first-served basis.

 

Where can I find a course map?: 

The course map for the 5K run and 2 mile walk can be found HERE!

 

My child wants to do the Kid's Race and run/walk with me after. Do I have to pay 2 registration fees?:

Nope! Just be sure to sign them up for the Kid's Race, and then they can run or walk with you after. Remember, the Kid's Race starts half an hour before the main events at 7:30 AM sharp! 

 

Where are the restrooms located?:

The restrooms are located at the back of the Bank of America parking lot on Garden St. and Center St. 

 

How do I get my results?:

All results are available online approximately 15-20 minutes after you finish the race. We kindly ask that you do not interrupt our timing staff to inquire about your results. If you have questions, please find one of our team members. 

 

Will there be an awards ceremony? 

You bet! Awards will begin at approximately 8:30 am at the Main Stage in the Bank of America parking lot.
