Race Packets
Race Packets will be available at the 2008 Forest City Road Races Expo at Centennial Hall, on Saturday May 10th 2008 from 10 am until 5pm. Race Packets are also available on race day at the registration tent in Victoria Park at the start/finish area.

In order for the registration process to run as smoothly as possible for all entrants we have a few requests when picking up your race kit.

  • Only registered people can pick up their race packet
    (bib, chip, T-shirt and bag).
  • Printed entry confirmation (or photo identification) is required for
    race packet pickup.
  • Marathon Relay Team packages are to be picked up by the relay Captain.

We cannot accommodate race transfers after May 1st. It is strongly recommended that you pick up your race packet at the expo on Saturday May 10th 2008. 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, product samples, coupons for pizza and 'Breakfast in the Park', and important race day information.

Our finish line volunteers will remove the timing chip from your shoe and present you with your finisher's medal. Runners who do not return their timing chip will be charged $40.00.For more information on chip timing, click here.
