GEAR BAGS
For the Full and Half-Marathon, we will provide you with a CLEAR PLASTIC BAG to put any clothes or items you would like moved from the start line to the finish line area. Please refrain from putting any valuables in this bag as we will not be responsible for lost or missing bags.
You may ONLY use the bag we provide as these bags are CLEAR for security purposes only. We will have sharpies on site FOR OUR VOLUNTEERS to write your number on the bag, and your bib will also have a detachable tab to affix to your bag with items we will have at the Check in area.
Gear Drop bags will be collected as you walk towards the start line. There will be designated blocks to put your appropriately numbered bags, for the Full and Half ONLY. 5k participants will not have a gear drop area, as you will be parked about 2 blocks from your start/finish area.
Once you finish, you will find your gear bags immediately after the finish line, in numerical order. Please make sure to have your bib with you for collection of the bag. No other persons may collect your gear bag, unless they have your bib.
ON COURSE SUPPORT
Medical
We have medical staff out on course at various aide stations this year, as well as EMS Cyclists from Salisbury Fire Department. Your safety is our goal!
IF you should need any type of assistance and are able to move under your own power, you will be directed to make it either to the next, or previous, aide station, dependent on your proximity. IF you need assistance, please do not continue on course, with the hopes that we will find you. Go to the closest aide station and wait.
Pacers
Pacers are provided, as our friends from Beast Pacing will be out there to help you reach your goal. As you line up for the Full and Half Marathon, please look for the pacer for your estimated time.
Marathon Pacers (hours:minutes) 3:35, 3:50, 4:05, 4:20, 4:35, 5:00, 5:30
Half Marathon Pacers (hours:minutes) 1:40, 1:50, 2:00, 2:15, 2:30, 2:45, 3:00
Cyclists
We provide cyclists on course to help to guide runners and to be mobile eyes and ears, should any runner need emergency assistance. ONLY OUR CYCLISTS are authorized to be on course and they are on course for your safety.
BIB NUMBER
Q. What is my bib number for the event? Why haven’t I seen any bib numbers? When will I know my bib number?
Bib numbers will be assigned when you check in for packet pickup on Thursday or Friday. REMEMBER, THERE IS NO RACE DAY PACKET PICKUP. If you are a bib mailing entrant, you will receive your bib in the mail, prior to the event.
Q. But how will my friends be able to track me?
A. All runners are already loaded on our app. By going to the LIVE TRACKING section of our app (found under REV3) you can enter last name and have your family and friends track you!
Q. Where does my bib number go?
A. Your bib has a MyLaps Bibtag timing chip on the backside. Your bib also has YOUR unique bib number to it. In order to accurately track your running AND to ensure that you are able to get all of those great (and FREE!!!) race photos, we ask that you wear your bib number visibly on your chest/waist area. Please do not plan to wear any garments over your bib, as this will make identification for photos more difficult. Please wear the bib horizontally, so that our photo recognition software can read it, and so that the timing chip can accurately be registered on the mats.
