Where do I get my shirt? Can I change sizes?

T-shirts can be picked up at Packet Pickup, either on Friday or on Sunday morning. A volunteer will write the shirt size you designated at registration on the back of your bib, then you will take your bib number over to the t-shirt table. You must have a bib number to pick up a shirt.

If you'd like to change your shirt size, you can email us at racedirector@ymcatvidaho.org 

***There are NO exchanges during Packet Pickup or until after the race - you can take your shirt to the Registration tent at the end of the race to see if your preferred shirt size is still available.***

Late or Day-of registrations are not guaranteed a shirt - it is based on availability. In some instances, we may reorder more shirts and will email participants when they arrive, but this is based on demand.
