Race Day Activities

We are planning an exciting After Party which will include beer, food vendors (to purchase food) as well as, the food from the cookoff. We are anticipating a spacewalk and face painting for the kiddos. We will also feature a line dancing segment.  So bring the entire family for a fun and exciting time at this year's Corporate Cup.
 

Chip Timing
Race bibs with timing chips will be REQUIRED for scoring. In other words, if all members of a team do not have bibs, then the member without a bib will not be scored for the team. Bibs will be assigned to all registered runners. Bibs are found in the race packets, which can be picked up the Friday at packet pickup before race day.

Participation is not limited to competitors only; many companies have on-site tent locations for their employees, business associates, family and friends to be a part of the community-driven event. 

If your company would like to rent a tent space or a total tent rental package, please go here.
