In-person Event FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Can I register on the day of the event?
AS OF 10/15/2024 - THERE WILL BE NO RACE DAY REGISTRATION. ALL EVENTS ARE COMPLETELY SOLD OUT. PLEASE DO NOT COME TO RACE DAY. WE WILL HAVE TO TURN YOU AWAY WHICH WILL MAKE US BOTH VERY DISAPPOINTED.
Can I pick up my packet on the day of the event?
Yes, but we encourage picking up your packet at one of our packet pick-up events prior to the event date. You can find out more about packet pick up dates, times and locations here.
Where and when will packet pick up happen?
Please look at our Packet Pickup Information page here.
Where can I park?
Although there is no parking at Hatch Elementary School, there is parking in the surrounding neighborhood. Please do not block driveways. We ask that you do NOT park between Potter Ave. and Hatch Elementary because this is part of the race route and is very congested with runners. If you finish early, you may be stuck until the race ends. You may park North of Kelly Avenue, South of Hatch Elementary on the surrounding streets (the race route is on Central and Granelli) or you may park at Shoreline Station for a fee of $25. The PTA is also offering parking for $20 on Kelly Avenue adjacent to Hatch Elementary and across from Tres Amigos.
Can I bring my dog with me on the course?
No. As much as we love dogs, they are not allowed on the course itself for the safety of all participants.
Are dogs allowed in the pre and post event areas?
Yes, dogs on leash are allowed in the parking lot where the events start and end. Please clean up after your dog.
What will happen to my registration if the in-person event is canceled?
There will be no refunds for a canceled event by the organizers or one that is missed by the participant. Please reference your waiver.
Are strollers allowed?
Yes, strollers are permitted. If you are walking or running with a stroller, be sure to queue at the back of the start of your distance. This is for the safety of your child and those around you. The race is chip timed. Your time will not start until you cross the start line. Please note that if you are planning on using a stroller for your child in the half marathon, the Wavecrest Trails and Big Dog Trail can be very bumpy and at times, very narrow (single track).
Will there be awards?
Yes, we will have awards starting about 9:30am. We will award 1st and 2nd place, male, female, & non-binary, in age groups.
Will there be gear check (Bag drop)?
Yes, we will have a bag drop. We ask that you BYOB (Bring Your Own Bag). Do NOT place anything of value in your bag. This includes but is not limited to keys, wallets, purses, phones, jewelry. Please note that we are NOT responsible for any lost or stolen items
Will there be photographs that I can download?
Yes. Senior Coastsiders proudly presents downloadable, professional photographs by Facchino Photography. Your special race day moments will be available to download shortly after the race is completed. A link will be sent to you by the photographer and we will also link you to the images. Be sure to wear your bib on the front of your clothing for ease in identifying your images and keep a smiling!
