We will start lining up the first wave around 11:25, and kick off at 11:30. We will begin lining up the next wave to start once the majority of the previous wave is finished. We will start the next wave once the previous wave has completely finished.
You will need to check in at our packet pickup to get your litttle bat dasher's commemorative bib and pickup any shirts you may have purchased during registration. Packet pickup will be open from 7:30 AM to 11:20 AM in Irving Circle Park in combo with the Vampire Run.
