Spectators

You don’t have to run to participate in the fun!

Spectators provide crucial encouragement and support that can help runners push through tough moments. A simple cheer or applause can make a significant difference in boosting a runner or walkers morale. Our spectator shuttle allows you to experience the race without having to worry about parking or road closures along the course. It’s the best way to experience the race in a stress-free manner.
