Race Packets
All runners are asked to pick up their registration packet (timing chip, bib, registration gift) on Saturday, May 1st 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.

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.)
