Is timing provided for the race?

Timing is optional; you can track your own time using an app and submit it via an online form, or ask the on-site coordinators to help you keep track.

How do I receive my race packet?

There is no packet pickup; your swag is shipped directly to the US mailing address provided during registration, and race bibs are provided on race day.

What happens if I register less than two weeks before the race?

You can still register, but your shirt will likely arrive after the race date, so you are encouraged to wear any appropriate running shirt.

Are there specific wave times?

Yes, waves are available at 7:30 AM, 8:00 AM, and 8:30 AM on a first-come, first-served basis, and you should email your preference to the organizers.
