Please use the bag you receive at the expo with your race packet to put any items that you bring to the start and won’t be running with. Tear-off the tag with your race number from the bottom of your bib and attach it with the zip tie provided in your bag. You can also use a permanent marker to write your bib number in the box on the front of the bag.
**Please only put items in the bag that do not have personal, valuable, or essential (like car keys!). Runtastic is not liable for the loss or damage of any belongings that are put in the drop bags.
DROP AT START — PICK-UP AT FINISH: Announcements will be made to drop your bag in the designated Bag Drop vehicle 5 minutes before the start of the race, so you can keep your warm clothes longer. You can retrieve your bag with your race bib number at the Bag Pick-up Corral, located north of the Finish Line at the Qualtrics Cloud Village’s parking lot.

To help keep the course clean and our staff/volunteers safe on the road, please ONLY discard clothing at the start, at Mile 2, or at Aid Stations in designated donation bins. Please carry trash to discard in bins at Mile Markers or Aid Stations. Clothing left on the course will be picked up by the clean-up crew and thrown away or donated.
