Registration & Packet Pick-up

What is a race bib, and what do I do with it?

Your race bib is the thin, rectangular number assigned to you for the race.
Use the provided safety pins to attach it to the
front of your outermost layer, such as the front of
your shirt or jacket.
The thin sticker on the back is your timing tag.
Do not remove the timing tag or fold the bib.
Your bib must remain visible throughout the race.

Can someone pick up my packet for me?

Yes! Someone else may pick up your race packet, and you
may pick up packets for other participants.

Have each participant forward you the email they receive during race
week containing their name and bib number.

Please make sure the participant knows you are picking up their packet
so that duplicate pick-ups are avoided.

Is race-day registration available?

Yes! Race-day registration is now available.

Your bib number will appear immediately on the confirmation screen.
You can then pick up your bib inside the Troy Atrium at the same location
used by pre-registered runners.

confirmation email or

How do I join a group or team after registering?

When and where can I pick up my packet?

Event Schedule page.

Can I receive a refund if I cannot participate?
