TRACKING INFO FOR TIMING:
Please follow these steps to ensure your time registers accurately –
Race number should be pinned, horizontally on the OUTSIDE of any clothing on the FRONT, below your chest and as close to the waist as possible. Water carriers or gel packs near the number can also affect the read. Wearing the number visibly on the front will ensure a finish time even if the equipment fails due to video back up.
There’s going to be plenty of free parking available. Our amazing volunteers are there to help you find a spot. It will be busy, so don’t wait until the last minute to arrive.
