Other questions
No. Packet pickup is skipped entirely. Your swag, including the shirt, ships straight to your door, and race bibs are handed out on race day. Double check your full US mailing address, including apartment number, when you register, because the shirt is sent to that address.
Your shirt is expected to land at your mailing address during the week of your race.
Yes, last-minute entries are welcome. Shipping may not catch up in time, so your shirt could arrive after race day. Wear whatever you like and come run with everyone anyway.
Final participant information, including all the details and the course map, is emailed by the Wednesday before race day.
There are three waves: Wave A at 7:30 AM, Wave B at 8:00 AM and Wave C at 8:30 AM. Once registered, use your confirmation number to reserve a wave through the online wave reservation form. Wave times may change depending on the season, so check your participant info email.
