Race Number Display

The race number must be displayed on the front at all times during the run portion of the race. This is primarily for safety, but also makes it easier for the Announcer and photographers to recognize athletes crossing the Finish Line.

Clothing

Athletes planning to wear layers should keep in mind that the race number needs to be visible at all times. Do not pin the number to a layer that may be removed. If the race number is left along the course or in Transition, the athlete will need to go back and get it BEFORE finishing the race.

LIVE Concert with the Jim Ciampi Band, Shipyard beer, Eli’s Root Beer, and Otto’s pizza!  You must present an ID to be served complimentary post-race Shipyard beer. When we see your ID we will give you a bracelet.  You can pick up your bracelet at packet pick-up or on race day. Please remember your ID because no ID no beer! Sorry.
