IMPORTANT: We are chip timing the 5 mile race, but will not be assigning chips on race morning. This means that 5 milers who register day of race will NOT be timed, eligible for awards or appear in the race results. If you are running the 5 mile race, please pre-register so that we can get everybody timed.

Timing: We will be chip timing the 5 mile race this year. Only pre-registered 5 mile runners will be timed. The 2 mile will be timed using stop watches. There will be large clocks at each finish line so you can see your time as you finish.

Changing race distances: If you need to change race distances, please do so at Skagit Running Company as soon as possible (or email the race director before race day). If you want to change distance on the day of the race, please go to the solutions desk. If you are changing from the 5 mile to the 2 mile, turn in your chip. If you are changing from the 2 mile to the 5 mile, report your bib number to the solution desk. If you change from the 2 mile to the 5 mile day of race you will NOT receive a chip and will not be timed.

Official race photography: Official race photography will be provided by Jon Brunk Photography from Bellingham. Photos will be available to be purchased from the Brunk Photo website soon after the race.
