Day of Registration
Registration opens on Sunday, March 22 at 7:30am and closes at 8:45am. Visit our registration tent to pick up your t-shirt, goodie bag and race number. If you are picking up your race packet on race day, we encourage you to come early to avoid waiting in line.
For 5K Runners!
If you have signed up to run the 5K run portion of the event, you will receive a DAG Chip race timing bib. These bibs contain an electronic timing chip, allowing us to quickly and accurately determine winners on site and post results on-line after the event. It is important that you avoid folding or crumpling your bib, as this could affect its ability to transmit your time. These bibs must be returned immediately following the 5k run. If you forget to return the bib, your credit card will be billed $10.00 for the replacement cost. After you cross the finish line, there will be a number of volunteers present to assist with the collection of runners’ bibs.
Lots to See!
Come early, stay late and visit with our vendors and sponsors. Starbucks will be on site providing complimentary coffee & Vitamin Water will be offering complimentary bottles of their products. Olympus will be offering tours of their mobile showroom, where you can see the latest innovations in colonoscopy scopes and medical equipment. Jefferson Hospital, American Association of Cancer Research, Colon Health Centers of America and Physicians Endoscopy will also be on site in the vendor area.
Photo Opportunities
We will have a photographer on site in the team meeting area across from the registration tents. Look for the large Get Your Rear In Gear photography backdrop. Team photos will be taken starting at 7:30am -8:45am and from 10:15-11:15Aam. All participants, walkers and runners, should make sure their bib number can be seen at ALL times. Event photos will be posted on www.uscandids.com by bib number after the event.
