Race Day Information

Race day number pick up starts at 8 am at the golf clubhouse:

This year, we have two early number pick up options:
- 2pm to 4pm on Sunday, 11/21 at the Franklin Park Golf Course Clubhouse

We highly recommend choosing whichever early pickup option works best for you to avoid the stress and rush of race day pickup.
