FAQ
Race day registration will not be available this year, so be sure to sign up in advance! Registration closes Wednesday, March 17th. We look forward to seeing you at the starting line!
We're sorry if your plans change, but race registrations are non-refundable. If you'd like added flexibility, optional Race Insurance is available through RunSignUp when you register. This coverage allows you to request a refund directly through RunSignUp if you're unable to participate.
Please note that Race Insurance must be purchased at the time of registration and cannot be added later. It is a third-party service managed directly through RunSignUp.
Absolutely! If you're unable to make it to packet pick-up, a friend or family member can pick up your race packet for you.
For everyone's safety and to comply with race permitting requirements, dogs are not permitted on the race course. But your four-legged friends are welcome to join you for the post-race festivities! We'd love to see them there.
We do not offer gear check, so please plan to keep your personal belongings with you during the race.
Street parking is available throughout the surrounding neighborhood. We encourage you to carpool when possible and arrive a little early to allow plenty of time to find parking and make your way to the starting line.
