How To Enter Pre-Race Party
Each registered race participant with a bib receives complimentary entry to the event and may bring one guest.
Guests without a race bib can purchase a “Party Bib” through our registration site, which provides access to both the Pre-Race and Post-Race Party. Please note, a Party Bib is not a race registration and does not grant entry into the race.
Pre-Race Party only tickets are also available for purchase online or at RC Outfitters for $6 in advance, or $10 at the door. Children under 14 receive free entry.
