• Gear check table will be taken down around 9:30 am.  Any remaining personal belongings will be set behind the counter.
• Please try to be out of the shop by 9:30 am so staff can get the shop open for the day.

Shopping is available at The Vark, but we are not able to provide full fits outside of store hours. Team Vark gets 10% OFF the shop!

HALF

This year, we are asking runners to download the GPX file to their watch or follow along the route on Map My Run or Strava. Please download the map to your watch or phone. There will not be any directions printed; if you need to print them, please do so yourself.

If you want to get the juices flowing on how to download GPX to your Garmin watch, check out this video for Garmin Fenix/Forerunner.

Have a COROS? Check out this guide: How to download and use routes.

10K & 5K

Check out the website below for all the training information! You can also download the GPX directly from the website if you prefer.

To help go green, please bring your own bottles. Need a bottle? We gotcha! You can purchase one at the Vark, or click here to order it from us online.  Team Vark gets 20% OFF hydration vessels (handhelds, hydration belts, vests) at the shop!

SUNRISE SQUAD 

Continuing from last year's success - the Sunrise Squad! We are offering a 5:30 AM training group option led by Abby Michelini. There will be no frills: no water, no shopping, no staff support, etc. However, you can count attendance if this is the timeframe that works with your schedule!
