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.

To get a shuttle pass, have your runner purchase a ticket through the race portal using this link: Purchase Shuttle Ticket
NOTE: Children 10 and under do not require a shuttle ticket as long as they are riding with an adult parent or guardian.
