Meet at 8am at The Mountaineers marathon headquarters (Magnuson Park Program Center). Early walking start get's us out ahead of the runners and assures a finish before the 4:15pm raffle and later "Demoltion" and closing remarks.

It includes an official Dick’s-A-Thon race bib, a Dick’s-A-Thon t-shirt, vouchers for the Dick’s menu, water and electrolytes at aid stations, and a raffle ticket. Unless you register for the Virtual option, please plan to pick up your race packet on the day of the run.
