If you have not yet received your bib or your swag, we recommend arriving closer to 6:30am to avoid long lines. Once you've finished your race, you can proceed to the Student Center and get your swag.

If you have not joined us at either of the first two races, check in at the packet pickup tent between 6:30 and 7:30am to get your bib.
