REMEMBER, DO NOT FORGET YOUR BIB!! 

• Your race bib is chipped for timing and must be pinned to the FRONT of your shirt. We cannot replace any bibs forgotten at home and everyone must have a bib to participate in the Pumpkin Run.
• This event is chip timed which means your race time begins when you cross the start line and ends when you cross the finish line. For this reason, you do not need to crowd the starting line trying to be the first person to take off.
• Be sure to run across the timing mat under the inflated arch to end your official time.
• Remember to wear your bibs on the FRONT of your shirt when you run so we can see it when you run and tag us on Instagram!
