I am excited to be running my first 5k in November. I have been training using the couch to 5k and currently I'm at a 14 min pace with 4 weeks to go. Anyone know how much time to allow to pick up race packets? Would lunch time be easier to avoid the opening crowd?
I would aim for the last two hours in the day if speed through the process is the goal. Even with that, I would allow 20-40 minutes.
To help, you need to go to two buildings for packet pickup. The first location is the HP Field house. As you walk up the slope from the parking lot and into the complex, the first building on the left is the Champion Stadium baseball field. The next building on the left is the HP Field house. Once in the field house follow the signs for the race. You will be handed your race bib in this building. Make sure you have your ID and your waiver to speed up the process. If you forget your waiver, you can print a new one on site.
From the HP field house, on will exit and then head to the Jostens Sports Complex. It is located directly across from the Champion Stadium. Once in Jostens, you walk down downstairs and your shirt will be located in the far back of the floor. Once you pick that up, you work your way to the front of the floor for official merchandise.
Hope this helps.
