Packet Pickup and Race Day Registration:
Registration will remain open until race time! If your friends haven't registered yet please encourage them to register from the comfort of their own home and then come down to packet pickup! Just forward this email to them, the registration link is above and below :)
Pre-Race Packet pickup to be determined
Race morning 7-8:30 am. Please be sure to leave yourself enough time to park, collect your goods and return them to the car well before your start time. We will have a pre-race warm-up before each start so you will definitely want to be available for that!
Chip Timing & Results
The Delta Dash will be chip timed! Your chip is located on the back of your bib. Please make sure to wear YOUR bib on the FRONT of your outer most layer (when you cross the start and finish lines) to ensure an accurate time (be sure not to wear a family member's bib. They are all labeled). Our super cool chip system uses disposal chips. What does that mean for you? It means you can keep the chip! You do NOT need to return it.
Results will be available within moments of your finish. Please be sure to check your information on the results kiosks near the finish line to ensure that you are in the correct race and category for awards.
