Swag

RACE MEDAL ALERT EFFECTIVE 11/19/21: Dear runner, please note that unfortunately we have no more custom race medals for distribution. Due to supply chain issues, our ability to order additional medals is hindered. But the good news is that The Running Store will graciously be stepping in and providing those who do not receive a medal a $5 gift card. This gift card will be distributed at packet pick up to all runners who registered after 11/18 11:59pm.

All participants will receive a race shirt, custom race medal, custom race bib, and digital finisher’s certificate. Duck Donuts is back! Due to health protocols, the donuts will be given at packet pickup, NOT after the race. As always, we greatly appreciate the support from our friends at Duck Donuts.
