During the race, we'll alert them about you and send them information about how to look you up on a special race web site for even more detailed information - all at no charge to them. They've watched you train for months, now we want to help them watch you race. The service is easy to use - simply sign up by clicking the link below, pay the registration fee of $3.99, and enter the cell phone numbers of your biggest fans.

| Old Shoe Drop then AVIA Shop |
Are your feet getting tired of running in those old shoes from last year? Here is your chance to give your old shoes to Scott Tinley's Charities as they use old shoes for those less fortunate. AVIA is giving everyone who drops off a pair of used shoes a coupon for 20% off a new pair of "kicks". This deal is only good race weekend, so don't delay. Look for the large shoe donation station at the entrance to the park on Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday we will move the donation close to the finish line so you can toss out the old and go home with the new! |
