If you did not sign up to run virtually and you do not pick up your items at one of the packet pick-up options above, we unfortunately will not be able to mail them to you.
PLEASE NOTE! There are some narrow spots. There are some hills. The course was set up to showcase the campus and the lights as much as possible. We want you to enjoy the experience and beauty of running at Life University! And remember, the race starts before sunset so you will have some daylight to see the beautiful campus before the sun goes down and the lights come up!
