Is this a timed race with official results?

Timing is optional and not chip-timed; you can track your own time using an app or ask coordinators for assistance, and results can be submitted online.

How do I receive my race packet and swag?

There is no packet pickup; your swag, including your running shirt, is shipped directly to the US mailing address provided during registration.

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 attire.

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 late runners can start upon arrival.
