Frequently Asked Questions FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I check in for the race?
You can pick up your bib on Friday, April 23rd at our office at 16 Commerce Plaza (4th floor) in Winthrop from 9 - 3 pm, on Saturday, April 24th at FirstPark in Oakland from 2-4 pm or on race day at FirstPark at 8 am.

Why do I have a starting time?
We have decided to do wave start times for our 5K. This helps us have smaller groups along the race route and also allows less of a bottleneck at the starting line. The corrals are organized by teams so you will be running/walking with your team on race day.

How do I get a free t-shirt?
We are giving out a free t-shirt to the first 200 participants or those who register before April 7th, whichever comes first.

Will there be an awards ceremony?
We will not be doing an awards ceremony on race day. We will announce the winners on Facebook Live on Monday (please follow us on Facebook!). We will also be contacting the winners to pickup their awards at our office or we can mail them to you.

I am participating in the virtual race, how do I submit my time and photos?
Submit your virtual results here.
Upload your photos here.

Can I bring my pet?
Yes, we welcome friendly leashed dogs and will have some treats and a water station available for them on race day.

Can I register the day of the race?
To limit exposure on race day, we will not be allowing same day registration. You can, however, register for the virtual race on your phone and run the route on race day. You would just need to submit your results using the link above and will not receive a bib.

Can I bring someone with me to the race?
In an effort to keep everyone safe, we are limiting the amount of spectators at this event. You are allowed to bring spectators, but please limit the number to those only in your pod and observe social distancing (6 feet apart) from others outside of your group.

What are your contingency plans for bad weather?
The event will NOT be cancelled due to rain alone unless the downpour is such that athletes, police, and volunteers lose visibility making situations unsafe. If this occurs we will wait until the rain subsides. Athletes will be informed of such a change via email on race morning.

Are baby joggers/strollers allowed?
Yes, please be aware and stay clear of other runners.

Will there be porta potties on the course?
Yes, we will have port-a-potties available with hand sanitizer and Lysol wipes to clean the bathrooms before and after using.

Will there be food available?
Yes, we will have individually packaged food items such as granola bars, trail mix, and water that will be provided to you as you finish the race.
