Race Day Packet Pickup

Due to the size of the race we are requesting runners to pick up packets ( race number - shirt - giveaway ) at one of our 3 convenient locations on the 23rd, 24th and 25th. Runners can pick up multiple packets for friends and family. The size of the race of 4000+ runners and items to be given will make a race day packet pick up impossible for our volunteers and runners so we are making a mandatory early pick up so that race day will go smoothly for all. We do have 2 options for those that can not make that happen - 1) You can have your race number mailed to you 2 weeks before the race ($10) your bib will be mailed to your house and you will pick up your shirt and gift on race day 2) Race day pick up charge ($10) This can be added during sign up

WHAT YOU NEED TO PICK UP YOUR BIB

Please print and bring your registration confirmation to packet pick up. You can also have this on your phone and even in your apple wallet which will make it eary to find at check in !! At the top of your registration email there is a icon " ADD TO APPLE WALLET" BUT if you are picking up for multiple people it will be easier to have printed registrations for each person or have all in your Apple Wallet. It is important to have the barcode visible that is on your registration as this is how we will check you in. Your registration confirmation was emailed to you after you signed up with the title of the email "Running of the Turkeys 5k Registration Confirmation" that was sent to you by RUNSIGNUP ..if you can not locate this you can have it resent to you simply by logging into WWW.RUNSIGNUP.COM and choosing my profile where you will see your current races.
