Vehicles cannot be inside Delaware Park on Ring Road or Colvin Avenue after 4:00 p.m.

Event reminders

Excelsior Orthopedics will be leading a Pre-Race Dynamic Warmup! Join them at the Main Stage at 5:45 p.m. to get your team ready to run.

The start corrals are on Amherst Street, between Nottingham Terrace and Colvin Avenue, facing west. Please follow signage to enter your corral at the appropriate color wave entrance. We encourage participants to start heading to the start between 6:00 p.m. - 6:20 p.m. You may only enter the corral that corresponds with your bib color.

Only the participants who chose to display their race results upon registering will have them displayed on the Leaderboard and be eligible for Team Scoring. Verify your selection under your participant details on your Dashboard. If you would like to revise your race results choice, you may do so from your Dashboard.

Ensure to fill out your medical information on the back of your bib before the event begins. This information will help our medical response teams in case of an incident.

All participant race packets will be picked up by your Team Captain prior to the event. It is the responsibility of the Team Captain to distribute the race packets to the team members.

Packet Pickup will be Tuesday, June 9th and Wednesday, June 10th, from 11:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m in the parking lot of St. George Orthodox Church, located at 2 Nottingham Terrace, Buffalo NY 14216. Only Team Captains can go to Packet Pickup to obtain bib numbers for their team. We will not mail packets or bib numbers to any participants. Packets must be picked up by Team Captains in person.

Your race bib is the only way we can ensure you are allocated to the correct start wave and also properly identify you on the course. Your race bib also contains your timing chip and because of this, race bibs are non-transferrable and should be pinned on the front of your shirt.

All participants must wear their assigned race bib in full view on the front of their shirt. Anyone found participating in any race with another person’s bib will be disqualified, and risks disqualification for their entire company team. Disqualified participants or company teams are not entitled to a refund.

Finisher shirts will be distributed just beyond the finish line on event day. Please keep in mind that size quantities are limited.
