Packet Pick-up & Info on All Things "Race with Grace"

Can you believe the race is this Sunday?!

It's slated to be a good one. We have a wonderful group of sponsors, teams, and race participants; and the weather forecast is looking beautiful (at least for now).

Following are some key dates, times, and reminders as we head into the race...

Packet Pick-up:

• Thursday, September 16, 2021

• 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM

• Buffalo Wild Wings

• 5050 Eastpointe Dr, Medina, OH 44256

• Only team captains and individual registrants are to attend package pickup. Team captains will be picking up packets for their entire team.

• Anyone who purchased an "Extended Registration" (on or after Sept. 12th) should claim their packet at Sunday's race, not packet pick-up. If this applies to you, your race registration confirmation email will have stated it accordingly.

Race Day:

• Sunday, September 19, 2021

• 9:00 AM

• Cleveland Clinic - Medina Hospital; 1000 E Washington St, Medina, OH 44256

• Shuttle buses are available to transport participants to and from the hospital from designated parking areas at Foote Rd and Rt 18.

COVID Guidelines & Tips for Enjoying Your Race:

• Please wear masks on the shuttle buses.

• Please wear masks on hospital grounds (when not running).

• Competitive runners should try to line up near the front of the start line.

• Can't get to the front? No worries. Runners are chipped, so their timing does not begin until they cross the start line.

• Due to COVID guidelines, there will not be an awards ceremony. However, we'll be posting race winners to our website.

• A water table will be available on-site near the finish line only. There will not be any water stops on the race routes (again, due to COVID guidelines).

Last but not least…
