Tech style race shirts will be guaranteed to all registrants up until the order deadline but we'll order enough to cover a few extra too. And of course, we'll send an email near the t-shirt deadline to all past participants!

    Funds raised from this event support various educational and charitable activities sponsored by the Hampton Rotary Club. Check out our donations page for more information.
