  • Pick up your packet Friday evening for a calm race morning.
  • Don red and green. Bonus points for sparkle.
  • Use the bathrooms at The Roost or Big Lug before you start. But don’t worry if you forget. Two sets of portable toilets are along the route.
  • Show up ready for fun, not necessarily serious competition.
  • This usually broiling event tends to melt any determination to mark a personal best.
  • Take a selfie with Santa to get a pair of Christmas socks. 
  • Celebrate with a free beer or soda at Big Lug after the race.
