Race Swag

Hoodies of Years Past

A Note about the Hoodies

The race directors usually unveil each year’s hoodie in close proximation to race day, and they make every effort to ensure that all registrants will receive one.

However, since the number of available hoodies is based on the amount of registered runners for each year’s event, last-minute registrants may not be guaranteed a hoodie.

We encourage all participants to register early.

In addition, runners should know that they can switch from the 20 Miler to the 5 Miler.
