The race begins at 8 am. Race packets will be available on race morning from 7- 7:45 am. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time for entrance to the park, parking and transition set-up. The fee to enter the park is included with registration.
Registration is $30 until Sept. 10, and then $40 until Sept. 13. Please note there will be no race-day registration; registration is required prior to the event.
