TRIPLE CROWN CHALLENGE FAQ:

  • What races are included? Hub Run (April 11), Brickyard Run (June 27), Run for the Hills (Oct 10)
  • Age Discounts for Triple Crown Challenge? The system will not allow it and it's cheaper to sign-up kids for the individual races :-)
  • Must be the same runner for all races? Yes, permits the same runner one entry to the Hub Run, the Brickyard Run and Run for the Hills race. You got this!
  • When do I get my shirts/bibs? Shirts and Bibs will be distributed at each individual race packet pick-up. We love to see your face :-)
  • Refunds? Like all of our races, no refunds will be issued if a runner is unable to run a race. The proceeds go to support the YMCA Income-Based Scholarship, so you're doing a good thing...even if you miss one of the races :-) All payments are final.
