Race Packets

All runners are asked to pick up their registration packet (timing chip, bib, registration gift) on Saturday, April 28 from 10:00am-5:00pm at the Registration Tent in Victoria Park. If a runner cannot pick up their packet, he/she may have a friend pick up his/her packet by sending a note designating that person to do the pickup on his/her behalf. The runner thereby assumes responsibility for all items.  While picking up your packet, enjoy the Runner’s Expo.

We cannot accommodate race transfers after April 15. It is strongly recommended that you pick up your race packet at Victoria Park on Saturday April 30, 2011. Race packet pick up on race day ends 10 minutes prior to the start of individual races – without exception. Race packets will include your race bib, timing chip, race shirt, food coupons and important race day information. (PLEASE NOTE: There will be NO registration on race day except for the 1k Fun Run.)

Swag Worth Sweating For!
