At the Expo, you will be given a clear plastic gear check bag. You will be instructed to write your bib number on your bag and store your gear in this bag on race morning.
There will be gear check stations by the Start and Finish lines on race morning. There will be no gear check available at the 2nd half-marathon start line. Look for signage directing you to the gear check tents for drop-off before the race and pick-up after the race.
