Additional Information:
Packet Pickup: Packet pickup information to be announced
For those that cannot pick up packets in advance, packet pickup is available on race day starting at 7:00 AM at the Registration Tent.
Event Festivities: A key moment of our event will be the first-time introduction of a transplant recipient to their lifesaving donor. All contact between the donor and recipient during the first year following the transplant must be anonymous, so it is always an emotionally impactful moment when the two are able to meet in person for the very first time.
There will be music, refreshments, and much more. Following the race, there will be an awards ceremony recognizing the top runners.
Live Streaming: The event will be live-streamed at https://www.facebook.com/giftoflife
