To have a packet pickup for 1500 people on race day takes a lot of resources such as space, equipment, and volunteers – all of which are needed for race day. Our responsibilities are to run a safe event, to have accurate results, and to exceed the racer’s expectations. We can best do that by having everyone pick up their bib/chip and race packet the day before, have our timing equipment check the accuracy of the database, and put our entire focus on the race on race day. If you are coming in from out of town and can’t get to Montgomery by 6 pm, we recommend you have someone pick up your packet for you and have them check your chip to ensure accuracy. All they need is a copy of your driver’s license. If you are unable to find someone to do that, contact Quinn Millington at quinn@montgomertymultisport.com.

There is NO race day packet pick-up.
