Can Someone Else Pick-Up My Race Packet?
Yes! Please provide the individual picking up your race packet with your information, but most importantly, your permission to do so. Once a race packet has been picked up for an individual, we cannot issue you a new race number.
Are Dogs/Strollers Allowed?
Yes! If you have a dog or a stroller, please start in the back of the start corral. Children in strollers do not need to be registered, but must remain in their stroller for the entirety of the race.
My Shirt Doesn't Fit, May I Exchange It?
We give everyone the shirt size they registered for - No Exceptions. If you would prefer a different size, please bring your shirt to the registration area and after everyone else has picked it up, you may exchange it for any other available size.
My Child is Signed Up For The 5K, Can They Run the Kids Dash?
Yes! But if they are only signed up for the Kids Dash, you would need to purchase a registration for them to do the 5K.
What Do I Do If I Misplace My Race Bib?
Please go directly to the Registration are and we will gladly cancel your misplaced bib number and issue you a new one.
How do I upload my time?
Look out for an email on how to upload your time to Race Roster! You can even upload your route, if you'd like!
Participant safety is our number one priority, so please make sure to listen to all announcements made by the DJ and race staff. Please keep headphones at low volume for your safety and that of those around you. If you have a medical emergency, please notify a Fit2Time team member or Volunteer immediately.
We value runner safety. In the event of severe weather conditions, the director(s) reserve the right to cancel the race for the safety of its participants. Registrations cancelled due to inclement weather will not be refunded, but instead used to cover event costs, with the balance being treated as a charitable donation to the event beneficiary.
Conditions that may result in event cancellation include (but are not limited to): lightning, high winds, flooding, fires, and other acts of God.
Pre-race cancellations for extenuating circumstances will be dealt with on a case by case basis. All cancellations are subject to a $5 service fee per transaction, as well as the original processing fee paid. All requests for cancellations and refunds must be received at least 14 days prior to race day to be considered. Thank you for understanding.
