We encourage you to use public transportation or take advantage of street parking in the area. Paid parking is available for $15 at SAGE Parking Lot at 1320 Monroe Drive.
Check-In
On Friday, you will receive an email from Run Sign-Up with your unique QR code. When you arrive at the event, you can check yourself in at the Check-In tent with that QR code to get your wristband. Runners will also receive their bib assignment and timing chip (your timing chip will start tracking you as soon as you cross the mat. There will not be a single start time). That will help us ensure that the event is for registered participants only. So look for the email on Friday and don’t forget to bring your phone to the event.
Onsite Registration
You can still register at the event on Saturday morning. When you arrive, please see a volunteer at the Check-In tents to register.
