Tips & Advice

  • Add a race shirt by December 7 if you want one, because shirts cost extra and any shirts not claimed at the event are sold after the run.
  • Grab your packet at the Methodist Hall on Friday, December 18, or come early Saturday, since pickup and sign-in open before the race starts.
  • Dress for the weather on race morning, because there are no refunds for weather and entries can only be transferred through December 1.
