To ensure a smooth start, here's the key info on bib pickup, parking, and race day:

Bib Pickup:

• Tomorrow, Friday, September 26th: Swing by Pies & Pub (1 Store Road, Middlebury, CT) from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM during our Hops For Hope Happy Hour—grab your bib, t-shirt (if registered in time), and get in the spirit early!

• Race Day (Saturday, September 27th): Pickup available starting at 8:00 AM at Pies & Pub, right before the 10:00 AM start. We recommend arriving early to avoid any last-minute rushes.

Race Day Parking:

Help keep things flowing smoothly for everyone—here are the best spots:

• Across the street at the Vyne Restaurant lot.

• At Smokey the Bear behind Pies & Pub.

• On the streets near Westover School.

• For a great warm-up option: Park at Meadowview Park Playground and stroll along the greenway to the start line—it's a scenic way to get those legs ready!

Please avoid parking at the Middlebury Plaza, as local businesses rely on those spaces for their customers. Parking could be difficult and limited if you arrive last minute, so please come early on September 27th and give yourself plenty of time to park and get to the race start at Pies & Pub by 10:00 AM.
