Q: What if it rains on race day?

Q: Where should I park?
A: : Please use parking spots in the Shops at Ocotillo, and across Ocotillo Road at the Holiday Inn. DO NOT PARK IN FRONT OF THE HEALTH CLUB AS THIS AREA IS RESERVED FOR MEMBERS ONLY.

Q: I am entered in the event but can no longer attend, what are my options?
A: This event does not offer refunds or deferrals. If you are registered for the event, you agreed to the no refund and no deferral policy prior to submitting your online registration. This includes those who experience illness, injury or any other condition that may prevent them from participating in the event. However, we do allow you to transfer your race bib to another participant.   All transfers are available through Monday, March 27th. After that time, all transfer options are completely closed (sorry, no exceptions).  Please see TRANSFER OPTIONS for complete details. 
Shirts and any other event related merchandise will NOT be mailed to those that do not attend.


Q: Do you offer virtual options?

A: No, this is a live event only.  Only those that complete the run (or walk), will receive a finisher medal.  

Q: Can I exchange my shirt for a different size?
A: Yes. You will be given the shirt size and style you selected when you registered. If you would like a different size, please come to the registration table at 7:30am on Sunday.  Sizes and quantities are available on a first come/first serve basis.  Please check your shirt fit before you leave as we cannot make exchanges once the event is over. 


Q: Do I have to wear my race number?
A: All participants must wear their race bib and have it clearly displayed on their FRONT during the event. The race number is how you are timed and scored. If we can't see your race number, you may not be listed in the results. Everyone on the course must be wearing a race bib. The only exception would be a child (4 years or younger) that remains in a stroller for the duration of the 5K. Under no circumstances can you wear a race bib not assigned to you, or carry a race bib for someone else.


Q: Are dogs allowed on the course?

A: No – although we love dogs, due to safety concerns, they are not allowed on the course.

Q: Can I walk instead of run?
A: Yes! Even though this is a timed event, we welcome all runners and walkers! However, if you are planning to walk we do ask that you start toward in the back. 


Q: Can we bring strollers or baby joggers?
A: Sure! But we do ask that you start in the back so as not to impede the other runners.

Q: Where can I see my results?
A: When you finish your race, you can find your results on the scrolling monitors near the finish line. You can also text your bib number to the number found on the back of your bib to receive your time. A few minutes after you finish, preliminary results can also be found online at 131Results.com. Please check your results before you leave. PLEASE PICK UP YOUR AGE GROUP AWARD AT THE EVENT - WE CANNOT MAIL AWARDS.

Q: Will there be any race photos?
A: Yes, and all photos will be free to download without any watermarks.   HOWEVER, please understand we cannot guarantee photos so if you want to have a specific photo taken, please feel free to ask our photographer directly and he will be glad to get your photo.
