THE RACE

Arrive on time! The start line is along the road across from the North Pacific Cannery. You will need to be there 10 minutes before your race starts to listen to instructions.

The road won't be closed for the race so you will need to run along the left side of the road heading out and return on the same side. Listening to music with ear buds won't be permitted – for your own safety – and if you are spotted wearing them you will be disqualified. 

SHIRTS

We placed our T-shirt order on August 26th. Everyone who signed up before then is guaranteed a race shirt in the size of their choosing. 

BBQ

We are submitting our food orders in on September 11. Anyone who purchased a race ticket and extra BBQ ticket before then will be fed. There will be some BBQ tickets sold afterward but once we sell out, that's it! There is a cafeteria at the North Pacific Cannery and you're welcome to bring your own food for lunch.

The BBQ will run from noon until 2pm.

You'll need a bbq ticket to get food, burgers, salad, drinks, fruit, granola bars.

One serving each. We have over 150 people to feed.
