A few reminders and some info leading up to the race.

 

REGISTERED RUNNERS

Due to the number of runners and volunteers we will have along the route, you MUST be registered to run and you must be visibly wearing your race bib to be allowed on the route. Due to the safety of others, if you are not registered to run you WILL NOT be allowed to run alongside your child/family/friends. There will be no exceptions to this.

 

PACKET PICK UP

1611 N. York, Dearborn, MI 48128

 

Friday, April, 27th 3 - 6pm

Race Day Saturday, April, 28th 7:30 - 8am

 

We strongly encourage ALL participants to make time to pick up these items on Friday, April 27 because of how many people we have registered this year as it will make everything run more efficiently. However, if you are completely unable to make it on Friday, race-day pickup will be available. At packet pick-up you will receive your t-shirt, race bib, color packet(s) (if you ordered extra), and raffle ticket.

***Remember to bring your e-tickets that where emailed to you after registering.***

RAFFLE TICKET DRAWING

1 Raffle ticket is included in every participant’s packet. If you would like to purchase additional raffle tickets you can buy them at packet pick-up or the Howard booth event day. This is a cash only purchase. Each ticket is $2 and you must be present at the time of the drawing to collect your winnings. The drawing will be held at 10:30 am. There are over 3 dozen prizes to be raffled off.

 

COLOR PACKETS

The color packets will be used for the finish line mass color throw. This creates the infamous color cloud. This is where you’ll want to use the color pack you received in your race packet.
