We look forward to hosting you this Saturday at the final race of the Snowball Series. We hope you're ready for a 5 Mile run through St. Charles and on the Katy Trail. Be sure to read through this email for important race weekend details.
RACE LOCATION & PARKING: The 5 Mile race begins at 8:30am just in front of Frontier Park, next to the CVB Parking Lot.
Parking is available at any of the public lots along Riverside Drive in St. Charles, and down by the Lewis & Clark Boathouse & Museum.
SWAG & BIB PICKUP: All swag is now available! If you haven't already picked up your swag, you can do so on race morning. If you have not yet received your bib or your swag, we recommend arriving closer to 7:30am to avoid long lines. Once you've finished your race, you can proceed to the Start 2 Finish tent in the post-race area (just past the finish line) and get your swag.
Remember that you will keep the same bib throughout the series, so please remember to use the bib you were given for the last race you participated in. If you happen to misplace your race bib, please check in with registration staff before the race to be assigned a new race bib. If you have not joined us at either of the first two races, check in at the packet pickup tent between 7:30 and 8:30am to get your bib.
