Packet Pickup Checklist

Here is a checklist of important activities that need your attention at packet pickup (more details about these activities below):

• Make sure you make all stops to pick up all packet items: race bib, chip, participant shirt and final instructions. Don’t forget safety pins!
• Check your race bib for accuracy
• Fill out the emergency contact information on the back of your bib
• See the help desk to resolve any questions or issues. Don’t wait until race day to ask for help!

Marathon & Half Marathon Packet Pickup

To pick up your packet, please bring the following:

1. a printed copy of your registration confirmation email (e-mailed in the weeks before the race) OR know your bib number (look up your bib number here)
2. your photo ID.

To pick up the packet of a friend, please bring the following:

1. a printed copy of your friend’s registration confirmation email with their signature and written permission allowing you to pick up their packet
2. a phone number where your friend may be reached in case of questions during the packet pickup process
3. your photo ID (for our records as to who picked up the packet)

Relay Packet Pickup

There is only one packet per relay team. To pick up the packet, only the person picking up the team packet will be required to show ID and the confirmation email (written permission from other team members is not required). We strongly encourage just the captains to pick up the race packets to reduce crowding at the registration tables.

Race Bibs

Race Bib Accuracy

When you pick up your packet at the Health & Fitness Expo held in the Dallas Convention Center, check to be sure the information on your perforated finish tag is correct and matches your running number. If there is a problem, report it immediately. The perforated tag is used to verify your information in our records. Take the time to fill out the Emergency Information on the back of your race bib.

How to Wear Your Bib

Wear your race bib on the FRONT of your shirt or shorts so that race officials and finish line personnel can see it. Do not cut or fold your number in any way or place a safety pin in the perforated tag. Officials must be able to see your whole number to know that you are an officially registered runner.
