Each finisher will receive a themed medal at the finish line as well as other sponsor giveaways.

All races will have a strict midday cutoff time. Please inform us if you believe you require additional time to complete your distance.

Race bibs are printed three weeks before race day and posted two weeks out. To have your name on your bib, make sure you register at least three weeks before the event. If you’d like your bib posted, the cut-off is two weeks before race day.

There will be a photographer present on the course taking photos of you, which will be posted on our socials following the race.

There WILL be other pedestrians and cyclists on the paths. We recommend you do not use earphones, and you need to pay close attention to everything around you. Please be aware of people, cyclists, and dogs.

Race times are subject to minor changes.
