Bib Pick-Up:
Runners have three options for picking up their bibs and shirts:
1. Mail-out service (available for a fee when registering).

3. Pick up on race morning (not recommended).
In order to avoid race morning stress and avoid having to arrive even earlier, we strongly recommend choosing options 1 or 2. If you are unable to take advantage of those first two options, race morning pick-up will still be available, but you should aim to arrive 70-90 minutes ahead of your race start to account for lines.
Water Stations:
Water stations will be stocked with water, sports drink, gels, pretzels, candy, etc.
We recommend all 10K, half marathon and 30K runners carry at least 2 bottles or a large hydration pack (or both).

30Kers – "Make a deal with El Diablo":
If you are in the 30K and you reach Aid Station #3 (mile 9) any time before 12:30, you will be allowed to "make a deal with El Diablo" and switch to the half marathon mid-race.

Brazen Racing
We don’t care if you are fast or slow, big or small, young or old. We aren’t the beautiful people you might see in a shoe commercial on TV. We never will be. We’re just everyday people who have discovered the happiness that running can bring. If you have the guts to get off the couch, get outside and run or walk at least 5K (3.1 miles), we are ready for you.
