*THIS IS A RULES OF THE ROAD RUN*. Per our permit requirements, runners must obey all traffic laws and yield to traffic if encountered (this includes vehicles backing out of driveways). That being said, the race is held on low traffic residential streets, and the odds of encountering a vehicle on course are low.
Want to help out? We’re looking for course marshals, hot cocoa slingers, packet pickup, awards & more! Sign up here!
Online registration closes at 11:59pm December 30. If the race has not sold out, all race-day registration will be on-site at packet pickup.
We hope to secure open skate time in EPIC, as usual, as well. This will be updated as soon as confirmation is obtained. If available, you can bring your own skates or rent them on-site for $3. Open skate from at least 6:00pm-7:30pm.
