How Do I Run a Race Using a Bib Number, not a timing chip?
- If you are pre-registered, before the race, go to the picnic table near the bathrooms on the river side to pick up your bib number.
Go to the table with the sign "PRE-REGISTERED ATHLETES."
- If you register on race day, before the race, go to the picnic table near the bathrooms on the river side to register. Go to the table with the sign "RACE-DAY REGISTRATION."
Fill out and an entry form, check off "5K" or "10K" and if appropriate, "Racewalker." Then pay the fee for the instruction booklet on how to run safely and receive your bib number.
- Be sure that either you or the registrars write your bib number in the bib number blank on the entry form.
- Before the race, pin your bib number securely and visibly on the front of your shirt or shorts. Please DO NOT PIN through the tear-off tag, and please LEAVE IT ATTACHED at the bottom of your bib number.
- Please don't remove the tear-off tag at the bottom of your bib number. We collect those tags at the finish line to score the race.
- At races when we offer 5K and 10K, please mark "5K" or "10K" on the bottom of your bib number.
- If you are a race walker, please mark "RW" on the bottom of your bib number.
