Saturday: Bib pickup only — no Expo. Outside ArtsQuest, 10 AM to 2 PM.
Trail Run: At the Expo until 2:30 PM Friday, or at the trail run start line after 3:00 PM.
Kids Run: At the Expo until 4:30 PM, then at the Kids Run start line on First Street.

5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and Relay runners who can’t pick up their packet the day before their race must add the day-of packet pickup option for $10. Already registered? Follow these instructions to add it to your registration.
