Frequently Asked Questions

What time does the race start?
The first wave of runners begins at 10:00 a.m., followed by the second wave at 10:05 a.m. New this year, all in-person runners must check in between 8:45 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. to receive their assigned start time.

Why are there two waves?
The two-wave system allows us to accommodate more participants on race day. This helps reduce crowding on the course and ensures a smoother race experience for everyone.

How and when will I be assigned my wave?
Wave assignments will be given during check-in at the Welcome Tent between 8:45 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. Groups who want to run together are encouraged to check in at the same time to be assigned to the same wave.

    Wave assignment details:
    • Competitive runners will be assigned to the first wave.
    • Walkers and those running with strollers will be placed in the second wave.
    • Wave assignments are not based on pace.
    • All awards are determined by chip time. Your assigned wave will not affect your eligibility.
