Vitale's will open doors at 8:30am, where Team Captains will have a quick meeting. We'll then proceed to the starting area, where the run will start at 9:00am.
While there is a lot of parking around Vitale's, we do ask that you make a STONG effort to carpool, even if from the West River/131 Park and Ride. The Vitale's parking lot will be CLOSED for race participants, as they will still be open for normal business and pizza takeout.
Packet Pickup will be held Saturday, March 21st, at Third Nature Brewing, from 1-4pm. Packet Pickup will be available on March 22nd, but we REALLY want you to pickup on Saturday if able.
