Running is always better with friends. Create a team with 4+ friends and each person will save $5. Here's how:
1) The first person to sign up creates the team.
2) That person is the designated team captain. They will enter a team name and then finish their own registration.
3) Then, they can share the team name and password so others can join!
The team captain does not have to sign everyone up. Rather, each team member can sign up and pay for their own registration!
The sweetest part? Each team member will save $5 on their registration. Once the team reaches 4+, the initial members will receive $5 refunded back. All future team members will see the discounted price!

Parking is complimentary and held at the orchard, just steps away from the start line. Please help minimize traffic by carpooling with a friend if possible.
We suggest arriving at least an hour and a half prior to race start to ensure minimal traffic and lines.

During registration, you'll need to choose a wave. Waves are small groups and have designated start times which are spaced out every ten minutes beginning at 9:00AM and ending at 9:30AM.
Not sure what wave is best for you? No worries! We suggest choosing one now as you can always edit it later. Waves are limited in size, so signing up today provides the best choice in wave start time!

Official chip timed results will be posted here race morning.
