Wave times: 0900,1000,1100
Please arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your wave time. Participants will be required to sign a waiver in order to receive a wristband to enter the course. We will release runners in intervals, so the sooner you line up in the "chute" the sooner you will get on the course!

Finish Line: Participants will receive their t-shirt when they cross the finish line, sizes are not guaranteed! We will have a cleaning station, so follow the signs to "Let's Get Clean".
Bag Drop: A bag drop is available this year - items can be dropped off at the start line, but also picked up at the start line. You must provide your own bag in order to drop off any items.
Parking and Directions: Parking will be available in areas off of Pershing Rd. Please follow directions of parking attendants. The Air Assault Course is located at the intersection of Pershing Rd and Jeb Stuart, directions are attached.
