Check In/Runner Info Tent (7:00am) - Before the race starts, runners and spectators may have questions. Registration Tent volunteers assist runners with picking up their race packets and t-shirts, and help staff with registration.

Water stop volunteers will arrive before the race starts to set up the water station, then distribute water to the runners as they pass by, and clean up after the last runner has passed.
