Start area
Gear check Use the clear plastic bags you received at the Expo to check your gear for FREE . Here’s how gear check works: • Put some form of identification, including your name, address, and phone number, inside your bag in case we need to contact you after the race. We won’t accept garments outside of the bag. • Find a gear check bus located around the start area, including Olney Avenue, Old York Road, and Somerville Avenue. Consult the map on page 16 for specific locations. • Check your gear by 7:00 a.m. • Attach one wristband to your bag and give your bag to the gear volunteer. Keep the second wristband and sticker with you. You will need these to help you find your bus and claim your bag at the finish area. • Remember the bus number in which you checked your gear because buses will not be loaded by bib number. • Pick up your gear in the finish area. Consult the map on pages 24 and 25 for specific locations. We will not accept any personal backpacks or other large bags at gear check on race day; you must have a clear bag. For your safety and the safety of others, all bags will be subject to inspection. Please do not leave personal items at the start line. Any item you do not want to take with you on your run must be placed in a clear plastic bag and checked.
