When am I able to pick-up my race packet?
This is a unique race in many ways this year. To make the race possible, we had to do a very specific order of race shirts. This means we will be unable to swap shirt sizes from what you have ordered.
No mailing is available this year.

I created a team, but I didn't get a discount. How does that work?
The discount is for teams of 5 or more who are running the VIRTUAL RACE ONLY. The first four members will register for the full price, but you will receive a refund after the fifth person registers.
I differed my registration from last year to this year, and want to run in person.
If you are running in person and are unable to differ your registration please email lexbg10k@gmail.com with your name and the race you wish to differ to, and they will make changes on the website.
