Race Day Checklist
Start off on the right running shoes!
Be the early bird!
The 5k race starts at 8:30a.m. sharp, so please give yourself enough travel, parking and prepping time. In case, you need to pick-up your packet, go to the potty, stretch your legs and greet your friends! Try and arrive at least one-half hour prior to the starting gun.
Find Parking
This should be easy! There will be plenty of parking, and many options;
Manning Middle School - Manning's parking lot is right next door, just to the north of Maple Grove.
Street parking - Street parking will be available in the neighborhoods around of Maple Grove.
Pick-up Your Packet
You'll be able to pick-up your packet on race day. Just be sure to give yourself enough time. Our packet pick-up station will be clearly marked. However, we recommend that you pick-up your packet ahead of time. Then you don't have to walk back to your car or find a place to store your goodies!
When and where can I pick up my packet before race day?
At Maple Grove Elementary School on Friday, May 21, 2pm-4pm and Saturday, May 22nd, 10am-noon.
