Race Day Packet Pickup

6:30 am to 7:45 am - Raley Field

Wave Start Details

In an effort to ease congestion along the course the race features wave starts. Simply put, a wave start consists of staggered starts of groups instead of one giant start for all participants.

Runners are placed in “waves” consisting of other runners of a similar pace. Each wave has its own start with a short “time cushion” between each wave. In short, we hope the wave start creates a safer, more enjoyable experience for all participants.
