  FAQ:

  How do I get back to the theatre location I parked at?

  There will be no shuttles or organized transportation. Think of this like you would a bar crawl where you start at one end of the line, and end on the other. We recommend planning to be picked up by a friend or using Rideshare. Or round up to a half marathon and run home!

  What do we do when we arrive at the first location?

  Head to the registration table to sign in and get your bib and course map. Then head into the theatre for the first screening!

  What do we do when we arrive at the second location after the run?

  Grab your shirt, pint glass, get 1 free beer, and hang out until the second screening begins at 11:30am.

  Will the kitchens be open?

  The kitchens will be open throughout the event! Have yourself some Forrest Brunch.

  What should we wear?

  Plan for the weather (July in Ohio, could be hot or blazing hot, ya know how it goes) but costumes are highly encouraged! You will be sweaty, so either plan a change of clothes at your ending theatre or sweat it up!!

  Is there a gear drop?

  Yes, put your belongings in ONE small bag, label it and give it to our volunteers at registrations. They will transport to your end location.

  What do we get?

  Entry to the event, Forrest Gump Screening, Custom Event Pint Glass, Event t-shirt, 1 Free Beer, and Bragging rights.

  Is this a race?

  NAHHHH. This is not a chipped/timed event, it is a FUN RUN. Hence the costumes and beer. If you'd like to bust ass between theaters, that's on you. All you'll get is braggin' rights.

  Will there be water on the course?

  YES. We will supply water and gatorade at three locations along the 6.5 mile course. We'll have chocolate and shrimp for the true Gump-heads at the midway point. View the course here.

  What is your inclement weather policy?

  We run rain or shine. If there is an imminent threat of lightning, we will communicate delays or cancellations via our official channels.
