Race features and entry details
Timing is optional and there are no timing chips. Participants may track time with apps such as Strava, RunKeeper, or Nike Run and submit results for posting, or ask coordinators to help with timing. Packet pickup is not required because race shirts and selected swag are shipped to the registrant - shirts are shipped to U.S. addresses and are sent the week of the race. Race bibs are provided on race day. The virtual run includes a digital training pack and a medal is provided after submitting virtual results. Organizers send a final event update with course maps the Wednesday before the race. Late registrations were accepted with the note that shipped shirts may arrive after the race. Coordinators remain available for a limited time after the first wave. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
