FAQs

Got a question? You’re not alone. Check out our FAQs for our most commonly sought-after race info. If what you need isn’t here, shoot us an email at community@clippedinforlife.org.

  • What do I need to know for race day?

    Pre-race instructions are sent out to all registered racers a few days before race day. Once that email has been sent, this link will allow you to view the email in a browser.

  • How many laps will I do?

    Racers will do as many laps as they can of our ~1 mile course in 25 minutes. A countdown clock hanging from the finish arch will tell you how much time is left in the race. If there’s still time on the clock, you go out for another lap. All racers finish on their current lap when the clock hits 00:00.

  • Where/when do I pick up my packet?

    Pick up your packet on race day at the Registration Tent from 8:00 AM – 3:30 PM. Look for the Clipped In for Life tents near the Finish Line.

  • Will there be late/day-of registration?

    Yes! Online registration remains open throughout race day. A $5 late registration fee applies on race day.

    All racers are required to register online, so we highly recommend registering online at home to avoid squinting at your smart phone screen on race morning.

  • Can I pre-ride the course?

    If you would like to pre-ride the course, you may do so from 8:00-9:00am on race morning or in between races. Please queue at the black tent with the “Pre-Ride Entrance” sign just past the finish line as a race is finishing up. The race announcer will let you know when you may get on the course to pre-ride. Pre-riding is NOT allowed during a race!

    Parents are welcome to join kids on a pre-ride, but only registered racers are allowed on the course during a race.

  • Is there any food onsite?

    To be determined.

  • Hey, do you guys need volunteer help?

    We love volunteers! We need help with setup, course marshaling, and tear down. Click here to sign up and email community@clippedinforlife.org with questions.

  • I'm part of a group/club/team. Where can we set up a support area?

    Team area info coming soon!

  • Do you give out podium awards?

    We’ll have a podium ceremony for the top five in each category.

    Podiums take place approximately 30 minutes after you finish your race, so you won’t have to wait around all day. However, we encourage you to hang out as long as you can and cheer on the rest of our racers!
