Tips & Advice
- Consider arriving early for packet pickup on Wednesday evening to avoid race day crowds and ensure you get your preferred shirt size if ordering extras.
- If you plan to participate in the costume contest, start planning your outfit in advance to stand out among the participants.
- For those who prefer a more relaxed pace, the 2K walk is a great option, and it's also suitable for strollers.
- Check the weather forecast and dress in layers, as November mornings in Indiana can be chilly, especially before the race begins.
- Sign up for the 'Holiday Combo' bundle to potentially save on registration fees if you're also interested in the Santa Run & Walk.
