With roughly 2,000 registered participants in the ½ marathon and relay we encourage all participants to pick-up your bib # and t-shirt at packet pick-up rather than waiting until race morning. The packet pickup will be held on Friday, April 8th from 11:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. and on Saturday, April 9th from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. at Runners Roost located at 1685 South Colorado Boulevard, Denver, CO 80222. If you pick-up your race packet on Friday or Saturday you can sign up to win a “Head to Toe” running package from ASICS and the Runners Roost, BolderBOULDER entries, entries to the 2016 Platte River Half Marathon and other great giveaways.

Your ID is not required and only one team member is required for packet pick-up.
Bib instructions: You must wear your bib in front in order to be timed in the race. Each relay team member will have their own bib number. When you pick up your bib, please make sure that your personal information is correct. If you need to make changes, there will be sheets available where you can give us the new data or check on-line and e-mail us back with any corrections. Race confirmation is on the website on the Race Information Page under Packet Pick-up and Race Confirmation.
If you don’t have your bib on during the race you will not be in the results.
The City of Littleton has been a grateful and receptive host for the race for 13 of the fourteen years the event has been held. Please be respectful of where you park, dispose of trash in the numerous trash barrels near the starting area and utilize the over 60 port-o-lets near the start.
Race day packet pick-up will be available from 6:30 a.m. until 7:45 a.m. at the large red tent located in the northwest corner of the Littleton RTD parking lot on the corner of Alamo Ave. and Prince St. in Downtown Littleton. Allow extra time to park and pick up you race packet.

Another parking option is to use Light Rail and train into the Starting Area. The Littleton/Mineral Station located at Mineral Avenue and Santa Fe Drive offers over 1,200 parking spaces and is a short, three minute ride to the Littleton/Downtown Station.

There will be five starting waves. All relay teams will start in the 1st wave. Seed yourself accordingly at the starting line. Line up based on your team’s expected overall ½ marathon pace. This will promote a consistent flow of runners as you enter the Little’s Creek Trail at approximately 2 miles.
Baggage Check-in will be near the Start. There will be a large white Ryder truck located in the RTD Bus Circle to the east of the start where you should drop your bag. Attach the baggage tag from the top of your bib to your bag. Bags will be taken to the finish line and sorted by bib number.
Only the runner running the first leg of the relay should report to the starting line.
The exchange between relay runners is a hand tag.
