AGAIN THIS YEAR! Our race participant item is being upgraded from cotton to a tech shirt. Because this comes with an additional cost and other increased costs we’ve decided to make it an add-on.
- Registration Price: You can register for the race for the same low price (free for Sub5 members).
- Shirt Cost: If you want the shirt it is an additional $10.
- Value: Yes the shirt costs Sub5 more than $10 so this is a deal!
