We try to over-order so everyone is happy about their shirt size, but since the shirts are produced a month before the race, we can only guarantee shirt size requests for those who register before July 31st. There will be special short sleeve cuts for men and women in Sport-Tek style which are true to most sizes and have limited shrinkage.

The Start Line is 1/4 up SR-14 from Wood Ranch (Bus Drop Off). This is necessary to get the proper race distance.

We ask that you keep your face mask on until gun start. If at all possible remain with your group and attempt to social distance. There will be garbage cans placed sporadically beyond the start line, as well as each aid station for you to place your mask into.
