6. Canned Food Drive: Please bring canned food items to place them into one of the Donation Bins at packet pick-up or race morning. View the Charities Page for details about special item requests.
7. What if I have a positive COVID-19 test or show symptoms of COVID-19? If you have a positive COVID-19 test or are showing symptoms (click here for a full list of symptoms) we ask that you do not attend the event. Participants who fall into this category will be offered the following options; if the request is received before November 8, 2021, the participant can receive a full refund minus the transaction fees, if, after November 8d, 2021, participants with a positive COVID-19 test can receive a 50% refund or participant virtually.  
8. COVID-19 Status: Our intention is to be able to hold this event in person. We are working on plans to take all necessary precautions to make this a safe event during the COVID-19 situation based on the latest/greatest guidelines as the event approaches. Participant safety is our number one concern, so if it is deemed unsafe to have an in-person event, the race will be switched to an all-virtual event. Should we have to hold the event virtually, we will automatically switch all participants to the virtual event and send details on how to obtain your race swag and submit your virtual times. If you do not want to participate in the virtual event, you can defer your entry to our 2022 event. We will contact all participants in the event that it goes virtual with further instructions.
9. Swag Policy & Exchange: Exchanging swag will be on a limited basis in 2021. Swag exchange will only be available on race day beginning at 9:00am. There is no exchanging at packet pick-up. If you do not pick up your packet by 8:45am race morning, your item will no longer be guaranteed.
