Time to be Onsite

As always, it is best to arrive early and to plan for traffic and road closures. Everyone should be onsite at the start/finish no later than 6am. Bag Check will close at 6:27 AM.  If you purchased the option to pick your bib up on race day, you should arrive closer to 5am to allow for the crowds and lines.
