Registration & Packet Pick Up Questions

How do I register?

You MUST register online, no in person registration at any of the packet pick up locations, or at race site on race day.

What is the easiest way to register?

Registering online is the ONLY way to sign up.

Can I pick up a packet for a friend of family member?

Yes! But please have a photo of their ID or a copy of their registration confirmation to show for verification purposes.

Am I guaranteed a race shirt?

All pre-registered participants signed up at least 1 WEEK IN ADVANCE are guaranteed the race shirt size they requested during the registration process. Late sign ups are not guaranteed the shirt size of their choice, shirts will be given on a first come first serve basis. We will do our best to get everyone the shirt size they want.

Will I be able to change my shirt size?

You will not be able to exchange your shirt until after the race. We will have an area for shirt exchange after the race for those wishing to exchange their shirts. You will be given the shirt size you ordered during registration, sorry but no exceptions.

What will we receive at packet pick up?

You will receive your race shirt, race number, and timing tag.

What type of timing is being used?

A Matter of Timing will be timing the event. We will use our new, state of the art MyLaps Electronic Timing System. Your timing chip will be on the back of your racing number bib. Participants must wear their number on the FRONT of their outermost garment.
