Race Shirts

Our race shirts are a popular soft tri-blend. Shirts are not guaranteed-the sooner you register, the more likely you are to get your preferred size. The women's shirts run a bit small, therefore we recommend choosing one size up from what you might typically wear.  

Family Discount

We do offer a family discount for up to 4 participants at $85 total.  Simply register the first participant, then select Multiple Person pricing and add the others.  This option expires at 11:59 pm July 26th.
