Pickup Details
Athletes will receive their bib number at the point of picking up their race packet. Corral placement is done by estimated finishing time. Your corral letter will be handwritten on a designated area on your bib at the point of pickup.
Any request to move to a faster corral or to switch race distances must be made at the “Solutions” kiosk within the Packet Pickup area during open hours. Be sure to review your corral before leaving Packet Pickup.
- All participants must pick up their race bib during one of the Packet Pickup times listed above, unless they purchased either the Race Day Will Call or Athlete Packet Mailing option for $40.
- Participants must bring a photo ID to pick up their race packet. Participants may pick up on behalf of their friends/family by presenting a copy of the participant’s photo ID. A digital photo on a cell phone will suffice.
- Participants will receive their race goody bag, filled with their race bib and timing chip attached, safety pins and race shirt.
- Gear check bags will be available at gear check on race morning.
- Those who wish to exchange shirt sizes may do so at the Results Tent on Race Day, subject to available sizes. Shirt exchange will only be available after Will Call Packet Pick Up is over.
- Participants must complete the medical information on the back of the bib – which must be worn on race day.
NOTE: There is NO Race Day Packet Pickup for those who did not purchase Race Day Will Call. Please plan accordingly.
Alternative Packet Pickup Options
Packet Mailing
Skip packet pickup and have your official race bib and shirt shipped directly to your door. Should you need to replace items that were mailed to you, please visit the solutions tent in the finish festival. The Deadline to reserve your packet mailing reservation is Tuesday, April 15.
Will Call
The Will Call option is another convenient way to bypass the packet pickup event and allows you to pick up your packet race morning. Make sure to arrive at the Solutions tent during the Will Call time slots or you won’t be able to race. You can view the Will Call operation times via the link below.
