    Tips on Wearing Your Bib Number:

    For best results, wear your bib number centered on the front of your shirt. Bib numbers are used as identification in photos and in cases of emergency, so  please:

    Fasten your bib at all four corners so that it is clearly visible on the front of the torso.
    Use a ballpoint pen and complete the medical emergency form on the back.
    Your bib and timing chip are integrated together, so please:

    Do not cover your bib with jackets, shirts, fuel belts or water bottles.
    Do not fold or remove the timing chip on the back of your bib.

For the love of all that is good and moisture wicking...

Though we try to be accurate and on top of things... Race details can change when we aren't lookin. And once in a while we simply make a mistake.

ALWAYS visit the race's website for the most complete and accurate race information.
