Note: If you register within two weeks of the date of the event we can not guarantee that you will receive have a finisher's medal or a T-Shirt.

Both T-Shirt's and Finishers Medals have to be ordered two weeks prior to the event to allow for production time. We do our best to anticipate additional registrants and order extra for both. However both represent significant cost, and to help keep registration fees down for athletes we do have to operate within certain limits.
