Can I participate with a support person?

By | Accessibility | No Comments
Yes! To do this, the participant must register using the online registration system.
The guide has 2 options:
1. The guide can participate in the event at no cost. To do this, when the participant registers, under “Additional Questions”, please select that you will be participating with a Support Guide, then provide their full name and email address. They will need to complete the event waiver and wear two “GUIDE” bibs, one on their front, and one on their back. The Guide will not receive the event shirt, bib with timing chip & finisher’s medal.
2. The guide can pay the full registration fee. They will receive the event shirt, bib with timing chip & finisher’s medal. They will need to wear the event “GUIDE” bib on their back.
When the participant picks up their race kit, they will receive the additional “GUIDE” bib(s).
