Race T-shirt

Each participant that registers by November 1, 2023 will receive a long-sleeve, ring-spun soft cotton blend shirt in their requested size. Participants that register after November 1, 2023 will receive a shirt based upon size availability.

Unclaimed shirts will not be mailed.

Chip Timing

Chip timing will be used to score the event. Your time will begin when you pass through the starting line sensors. The top ten overall male and female finishers will be determined by the gun time, not the chip time.
