FAQS
Race Date: March 30, 2025
The medical command center will be at the finish line along with a medical spotter tent.
Medical will be positioned on mobile units along the course with a med station at mile 9.
Please make sure you fill out the emergency info label on the back of your bid and share your bib number with loved ones. Due to HIPPA laws we cannot give out any athlete information other than bib number.
13, however anyone under 13 but older than 10 may participate as long as they are accompanied by a registered adult through the entire course.
No. You may not sell or transfer your bib to another person. Please do not do this as you jeopardize not only that runners safety but the safety of other runners on the course. We offer a very flexible refund policy in the event you cannot race.
This is not only unfair because everyone else paid the entry fee but it is truly a safety issue. We plan the course, the medical, the water, the replacement gels/fluids based upon the total entrants. If you bandit the race you are jeopardizing the safety of our legitimate runners. We also provide finish medals to those who have registered and if you, as a bandit, take a medal there is a chance that others (again who legitimately entered to run the race) will not receive one. Not cool.

No. These items are all strictly prohibited from the race course.
