Check-in Process

Participants
After you’ve parked, please make your way to the entrance of the event. Our onsite medic staff will be conducting a short wellness check questionnaire and will be taking each person’s temperature with a contactless thermometer (review the event reopening plan details here). After you’ve passed the screening, make your way to the BIB PICKUP tent with your signed waiver and photo ID in hand and head to the BIB PICKUP lane that corresponds with your bib number.

***SavagePRO’s: You will also receive a Velcro wristband with a second timing chip.  You MUST wear both wristbands and timing chips to be eligible for cash prizes and age group awards

Loop the strap through the timing chip and attach it to your wrist.

Remove your FREE BEER TAB from the bib and put it in a safe place (in your bag or in your vehicle). You will not receive your free beer if you do not present the tab at the free beer tent after you race.

Using the safety pins, attach the bib to an article of clothing you will be wearing during the race. Make sure it’s visible from the front so that the race photographers will be able to identify you for your FREE race photos!
