Absolutely! The Big Bad Wolfe Run is famous for our fleece full-zip hoodies, and we always have great finisher medals, too.
Race packets may be picked up early at Columbus Running Company's Dublin location (6465 Perimeter Dr Dublin, OH 43016) on Friday, September 26 (10AM-8PM) and Saturday, September 27 (10AM-6PM). Participants may also pick up their packets at the event near the start line beginning at 7:00 am on September 28.
Absolutely! Just please be sure that you're only picking up packets for people who know you're doing so (ie, tell your friends, first!).
There is no race day registration for any Big Bad Wolfe Run events.
There is parking at Wolfe Park, across Broad St at St Charles Preparatory School, and a bit south at Academy Park. For additional parking information, please view our Race Day Parking page.
We strongly recommend arriving at least 45 minutes prior to your race's scheduled start time to allow enough time to find parking, get your materials, use the restroom, etc.
The start/finish line is located in Wolfe Park near the shelter building.
Our race does not have gear check. If you are picking up materials on race day, please give yourself enough time to return any items to your vehicle that you don't need during the event.
Yes! We have portable restrooms available near the start/finish line, as well as inside the Wolfe Park shelter building. There are also multiple portable restrooms on the course. You're never too far from a restroom at the Big Bad Wolfe Run!
Of course! Each event has water at various intervals:
- 1K Course: bottled water at the finish line
- 5K Course: two water stations on course and bottled water at the finish line
- 10 Mile Course: eight water stations on course and bottled water at the finish line
- 20 Mile Course: seventeen (17?!?) water stations on course, and bottled water at the finish line
Each water station has water and Gatorade. We do not provide additional nutrition, so you should bring your own gels, etc., if that is something you need for your distance. Please dispose of all gel packets in appropriate containers.
Participation with pets is not allowed at the Big Bad Wolfe Run.
