FAQ
01.
Can I pick up someone else's packet & vice versa?
Yes, and Yes. We do not need to see ID, but be sure the other person knows you are picking up their packet for them.
03.
Is there a cut off time for how quickly I must finish the 5K?
No, but we do expect participants to actively attempt finishing and not stop along the way.
05.
Are there age limits to participants? Do I have to be 21?
No age limits or requirements! Everyone is welcome to participate!
02.
Can I get a refund, defer or transfer my registration?
Sorry, no refunds. Deferrals are on a case by case basis until 12/2 for pregnancy, medical emergency or military deployment. We cannot allow deferrals for injuries, sorry. Please contact Lisa at info@wildstatecider.com for deferrals and transfers.
04.
Where can I park on race day? Can I park at Wild State Cider?
Parking will be limited, so we suggest arriving early and parking on nearby streets and lots. No parking at the Wild State parking lot.
06.
Will the Santa Suit fit me? What about fitting my kids?
The Santa suit is a one-size-fits-all adult suit. We can't guarantee fit. Kids should plan to wear the jacket only to avoid tripping hazards. We have new higher quality suits for 2023!
