FAQs so you are ready to race:

Q. Where do I park? 
A. Head to 3883 Betsy Kerrison Parkway (you'll see a big dark fence at the front of the Kiawah River neighborhood). Once you turn into the driveway, you will follow the road for 1.5 miles where you'll meet our parking attendants.  We highly encourage carpooling to the race to lighten our carbon footprint.  If you're traveling from Charleston or Mount Pleasant, please allow yourself plenty of driving time before the race start.  

Q: Where can I pick up my race packet? 
A. You can pick up your race packet on Saturday May 18th from 10am - 6pm at Blue Sky Endurance at 725 Coleman Blvd., Suite 116, Mount Pleasant, SC.  There is a free parking garage located at The Boulevard Apartments. There will also be race day packet pickup from 7:30-8am on site at the Goatery.

A. Yes, the 5K race is chip-timed by ELM Timing.

Q. Are participants permitted to walk in the races? 
A. Absolutely! Walkers are welcome. The 5K course is a natural course with beautiful scenery. 

Q. Are dogs welcome? 
A. We ask that you leave dogs at home, as they do disturb the donkeys at The Goatery.  Goats are chill.  Donkeys, not so much.  Trust us on this one!
