Packet Pick-Up/Expo

COVID UPDATE: The 2021 expo and race-related festivities details have changed and include safety protocol based on state guidelines. Please carefully read all details as times and locations may have changed. Click for full COVID-related updates.

2021 TEMPORARY EXPO LOCATION: BERGLUND HALL

Extended Expo Hours: 12-8pm
**Busy hours tend to be from 5-7pm, we recommend coming earlier if possible to avoid wait times.

The race expo will be held at an alternate location, Berglund Hall at the Berglund Center just this year to allow for social distancing and added ventilation. Limited vendors and sponsors will be featured onsite, masking will be required for all. A limited number of participants will be allowed through at a time, all one-way traffic and please refrain from loitering at any vendor for too long.

We strongly encourage all runners to pick up their own race packet at the Packet Pick Up and Expo. It is important for runners to verify their data and make any necessary changes. However, if it is not possible for you to pick-up your own packet, you may have someone pick it up for you. That person will be responsible for verifying personal race information (name, age, birthdate, etc.) and MUST bring a copy of your drivers license (or valid photo ID).
