Parking will be available at Gaithersburg Elementary and Middle Schools, at the Olde Towne parking garage at Olde Towne and Summit Avenues, and at the Girard parking lot on Diamond Avenue. How early should I arrive? Plan to arrive around 30 minutes before the race if you are pre-registered. If you plan to register on race day, you will need to arrive earlier to get your materials. How does the race work? Racers should line up according to how they expect to finish, runners in the front, then joggers, then walkers in the back. There will be multiple “waves” so line up with the wave you feel will fit your pace. Listen for the race announcements and when it’s time for your wave, get to it! What do I do with the race bib? You will be given four safety pins along with your bib. Pin the bib to the front of your shirt. Will there be water on the course? Yes, there will be water at the finish line. Where is packet pick-up? Packet pick-up will be on-site at the corner of Girard and Diamond Ave. starting at 4:30 p.m. on race day only. Once you receive your packet, please proceed to the start line. Will there be bathrooms at the start/finish? There will be port-a-johns placed at the start line and in the festival area. How does timing work? We are using chip timing so you will be given a timing chip to attach to your shoe at the start and asked to place the chip in a bin at the finish line. The chip will keep track of your time, which you can see posted later online. What other festivities will be happening? Before the race we will be offering Zumba lessons as a warm-up and after the race there will be a block party with music, dancing, and arts and craft activities. Are strollers allowed? Yes, just make sure to line up near the back if you are walking with a stroller.
