HOLIDAY FAQS:

• What happens if WEATHER or public health emergencies require cancellation? The race will adhere to any public health authority or City of Portland police and PBOT requirements if they cover outside group event restrictions. In the case of cancellation, all registrants will automatically be switched to a virtual race platform and receive all the swag that has been ordered for you months in advance to plan properly. For those not wanting to do the virtual race, you can receive a voucher for 50% of your registration for the following year and also STILL receive your swag (again, the swag is already ordered ahead of time, so that will not be able to be cancelled). By registering, you agree to adhere to this rule and have signed a waiver that reflects this rule. Thank you for understanding and we hope you LOVE the race experience and swag, regardless of any cancellations required in partnership with local authorities.There will be NO REFUNDS, no exceptions.
• Is there a bag check? Yes, there is a bag check. We recommend you have your own bag ready in advance and just write your bib number on the outside of it in advance (duct tape or a tag on the handle will work well).
• Are strollers allowed: Yes, strollers are allowed for all races. Please give yourself plenty of space and be aware of how much space there is around you to allow for easier passing and navigation.
• Are there REFUNDS for this race? No, similar to a concert or other limited capacity event, we do not offer refunds of any kind. Given the size of the event, it’s our priority to serve the thousands of people that will be in attendance and make sure they are taken care of with early ordering of items like shirts, medals, and more. These items have to be ordered months in advance. This applies to injuries or any reasons for refunds (other than duplicate orders). We cannot plan properly with a limited entry race and allow registrations and refunds throughout the registration process. Similar to a sold out music concert, once your ticket is purchased, there are no refunds and you are responsible for finding someone to transfer to.
• Where do I park?  There are multiple lots all around the Daimler campus we will direct you to. NEW this year is a paid parking and free shuttle program. See above for more information regarding that. In addition, we respectfully ask you to PLEASE CARPOOL or use public transport or bike. Swan Island is centrally located and has light rail within about a mile and bus lines on Greeley Avenue. The area is VERY bike friendly as well. Please give yourself AT LEAST 30 minutes before the race to get parked and get ready for the race.
• How do the staggered starts work? We will be staggering our starts based on pace groups by just a few minutes to ease any congestion at the very beginning. The exact schedule will be announced as soon as we are closer to the race week but the overall start time frame will be over the course of about 20-30 minutes so everyone will be on the course around the same time, but just spread out a bit more.
• Are spectator allowed? Yes, we strongly believe that the support of our friends and family are important for our mental and physical well being. But we absolutely only want one vehicle per household or group, if possible. Parking is limited. In addition, we ask that spectators provide plenty of space in the starting area for adequate spacing.
• Are dogs allowed? No, for insurance purposes and for congestion and safety, they are ABSOLUTELY not allowed. You will be asked to leave if your dog is at the venue with you.
  
• Are there water stations? Yes! We will have at least 6 water stations on the course for the half marathon and 2 for the 10K and one for the 5K. We will have water, electrolytes (nuun), and gels at each station and cookies at other stations on the course!
• How does the virtual race work? It’s really simple! 1.) Register for the virtual race. 2.) Race on your own anytime and anywhere between December 11th – 25th.  3.) You will receive a text and email prompt that you can submit your finish time to and any photos if you want to add them! 4.) You will be able to pick up your swag at any bib pick up location OR you can choose to have it shipped to you using our shipping link.
• How are we doing the packet distribution? We are offering a bib pick up over the course of multiple days before the race (dates to be announced soon).
• Can I have my virtual items shipped? YES, you can! You must request and pay for this through our shipping link within the registration (just click on “register” and you’ll see a separate ticket there). NOTE: Your items will likely not be received before Dec. 11th if you choose to have them shipped given the timing of deliver of the race swag items.
• Can I have my items shipped if I’m doing the in person race? Unfortunately, no. Items won’t be available early enough to get them to you on time.
