IMPORTANT NOTICES

This race is officially sold out! Please do not purchase a bib from any third-party website, marketplace, or individual claiming to have a bib for sale. The only legitimate way to secure an entry at this time is by getting off the official waitlist. Participants found wearing or using someone else’s bib are in violation of race rules and may be disqualified and barred from participating in future events.

With record demand and race weekend quickly approaching, we’re no longer able to accommodate race changes including: deferrals, event transfers, and person to person transfers. This helps us stay within our participation limits and deliver the best possible experience for everyone on race day. Thank you for understanding.
