PREPARING BEFORE YOU GET TO THE START:

• WEAR GOOD SHOES and HYDRATE!
• COMPLETE emergency medical information on back of your running number.
• PIN your running number to the FRONT of your shirt.
• DO NOT mix your running number with anyone else’s.
• DO NOT FOLD or ALTER your bib number in any way. Doing so can break the antenna on your timing chip.
• NOT WEARING your bib number in front or folding/altering it will most likely result in not getting a time and appearing in the results.
