You will be able to pick up your race packet on Friday from 4-8 p.m. and race day starting at 1:00 p.m. We ask that you don't come for race packets outside of these times. Race staff will be busy setting up the event. Thanks for understanding.

Bib Number and Timing Chips

5k participants will be chipped time to process race results, and your 5k finish time will be posted based on the chip time. It is essential to prominently display the bib number provided on the front of your shirt throughout the race. The timing chip is affixed to the back of your bib number. Kindly remember to bring your bib number on the day of the race, as the absence of the bib will lead to an unrecorded time. Please note that the transfer of bib numbers to other runners is strictly prohibited. Spare bib numbers will not be provided.

Parking

Parking and restrooms are available on-site.

Pets at the Race

If you choose to bring your pet, please be sure to follow Piedmont City rules. All pets must be on a leash. Please clean up after your pet. The actions of the pet are the responsibility of the pet owner/caretaker.

Strollers at the Race

The course is run on city streets and along Ladiga trail which makes for a good stroller experience. If you are participating with a stroller or young children, we ask that you keep your children with you at all times and that you start from the back of the starting line. This will allow your family members and our other participants a safer race experience.

Registration Transfer and Cancellation Policy

This event will occur rain or shine. Transferring your registration fees to another runner is not allowed. We reserve the right to cancel in extreme circumstances. Cancellation notice will be posted on Venecia's Foundation Facebook page as well as through email notifications. In the event of a cancellation, we cannot offer a refund: rather your entry fee will be used as a donation to Venecia's Foundation (501c3).
