The 21km will also have an additional porta potty on the way to the out and back 21km only turn around which is approximately 10.5km.

Bag Drop: We will have an un-official bag drop (ie. your bag will not be checked in but rather placed under a tent and not officially supervised) at the start/finish line. Everything must be inside a small bag/backpack and you can drop your bag under the tent before you run.

Bibs: Your bib must be visible at all time on your FRONT while on course. Racers without numbers will be asked to asked to leave the course. You may NOT have an unregistered runner or coach run with you.

Timing: Official timing will be provided by Startline Timing. Timing is through a microchip on the back of your race bib. DO NOT BEND YOUR BIB or you will not receive an official time. In the event there is an issue with your time, please email info@startlinetiming.com with details.

Music: because the course is on pathways you MAY run with music. However you must be able to hear officials and other pedestrians at all times. Please note, you must run with earbuds and MAY NOT play music that is audible to other racers. If officials or volunteers catch you doing so you will be immediately disqualified.

Dogs: Dogs are NOT allowed on course. We will be monitoring this closely.

Strollers: We are a stroller-friendly race course! Please be advised that on-course hydration and finish line cookies are for racers only.

On-Course Nutrition: In an effort to reduce the waste and littering we have all seen at running events, the Get Shit Done Run is a cup-less event. This means that those paper cups that runners use to take a shot of water, soda, or electrolyte will not be available. Let's face it, we have all seen what a waste those cups are, and one single sip for a whole cup is ridiculous.

You must bring your own reusable cup.

Together we will save thousands of paper cups from being used, trashed, and possibly blown away littering our beautiful pathways.

21km course:

5km (water, electrolytes)

10km (water, electrolytes, gels, coke)
