Race Day Questions
What time should I arrive on race day?
Arrive for the race no later than 45 minutes in advance of the start time. This will give you plenty of time to find the start line, use the bathroom one last time, and put all your things in a secure location. Find your place behind the start line about 15 minutes before the start.
If you are picking up your packet then you will need to arrive by 7:30 am.
