Packet Pickup and Late Registration

Early Packet Pick Up and Late Registration
Night before the Race – 3:15-5:00 p.m. - Pull to the front of the school for drive-thru pickup and late registration!

Race Day Pickup and Late Registration
1 Hour Before Race Start Time – Near Start/Finish, Look for Signs

 

NOTE:  Look up your bib here (https://www.athleteguild.com/event/buda-tx/2023-off-to-the-races-5k/athletes)

Bib Numbers 1-1026, 2000-2056 - you are considered EARLY REGISTRATION -- that's the line you'll head to at Packet Pickup

All other numbers are considered LATE REGISTRATION and that’s where you'll head to at Packet Pickup 

Early Registrants: Dog and Stroller Bibs will be in the packets of the Registered Owner. If you did not register for the 5K, but you registered your dog or stroller, you will need to register for the 5K before receiving your dog or stroller bib. 

 

*If you are looking up your bib number on your phone, you may need to scroll down below the navigation buttons to find the search box

 

Remember, shirt guarantee deadline is August 6.  We order extras but we are not always able to guess (though we do try our crystal ball) the sizes people will need as they register after that date.  If you do not receive a shirt, it is because we ran out of your size by the time we got to your packet after filling those who were guaranteed.  YES - that does mean that a group who registered together after the cut off might not all get a shirt.
