What should I bring with me the day of the event?
Comfortable shoes, possibly a change of clothes, an oxygen tank, and some band-aids (just to be safe). But seriously, sturdy shoes and clothes that can get dirty will do.

The course will be roughly an 8K. It depends on how efficient you are at getting from point to point. No electronic devices allowed for assistance (no one likes a cheater).

Tacoma. Details to come.

Where do I pick-up my event packet?

What is included in the event cost?
The honor of competing in such an amazing event, the pride that you will take in yourself for completing this event, and the satisfaction of knowing that you gave back to a great organization. Need there be more? But really, you also receive a technical tee, bib number, water bottle, and finishers survival bracelet.

Is there a bag check?
Does this seem like the kind of event that would check your bag? Would you like us to open your door and tie your shoes for you as well? Everyone is responsible for their own bags, wallets, keys, brains, etc.

Will you keep my time or shall I start my own watch?
This event is not timed. Those who cross the finish line still breathing are all winners in our book. Plus, your fancy running watch might get dirty in our event.
