The first 300 to collect a race packet will receive a commemorative shirt, hat, and bib in their race packet. Sizes are offered first-come-first-served based upon packet pick up arrival in line. If your requested size is no longer available, we’ll offer your second size choice, and then the next closest available size. Gear style may change based upon availability. All participants will receive a chipped race bib and a Finisher medal upon race completion.

For Race of Hope events, Racers are not offered a gear bag check service. You should only bring items that you can carry on your person, leave with a friend, or store in your vehicle.

However, gear check is available for volunteers, though it's advised not to leave anything valuable, as Race of Hope isn't liable for lost or stolen items left in their gear check service.

We have submitted permit paperwork requesting the use of the venue's location for our event. Until approved, the race's location, date, and time are subject to change. If our permit is denied, all registered participants will be notified within three business days and their registration will be valid at a future event date and time as soon as an alternative venue is secured. No refunds will be issued.

No as at this time, no Covid protocols are in place at Race Race of Hope events.

Sorry, no refunds will be issued related to gear sizes. We really want you to have gear in your perfect size so that you can enjoy wearing it for years to come! We encourage you to attend packet pick up early to enjoy greatest selection of available sizes when our team fulfills your race packet order. Sizes are offered first come first served. Please also be sure to use the size chart to help you request the best fit. Race of Hope gear is swoon worthy and events sell out quickly. As with many national races, our gear sizes are not guaranteed & offered on a first come first served basis.

Sorry, no refunds will be issued.
