Pre-Registered Runners: Report to the 3rd Floor Registration table to pick up a wristband and bib number, indicating that your payment has been received.

Day of Registration Runners & Relays: Make payment, receive wristband & bib number, and fill in a registration card at the 3rd Floor Registration table.

Check entry lists at the clerking table to ensure names and seed times are correct.

Once the event is called (approximately 30 min prior to event start), report to the clerking area on turn one, outside the track, and the officials will assign you into a “section” and give you two hip numbers.  One hip number goes on your left hip.  The other one goes on your right chest.

Relay teams must pick up a team registration sheet from the clerking table, fill it out, and return it for the clerks to set sections.
