We strongly encourage you to pick-up your packet on Friday. Packet Pick-up will be open on Saturday
morning, but could have long lines as race time approaches. You will receive your race bib, timing chip and tshirt at Packet Pick-up. You may pick up packets for your friends, but you MUST have a copy of their
photo ID in order to so do. If that participant is under 16 and doesn’t have an ID, their packet must be
picked up by their parent. If you are registered as a Student, you must have a copy of your Student ID.
No exceptions!
BIBS & WAIVERS
All registrants have been assigned a bib number, and those who registered before race week will have their
name on their bib! Along with your bib number, you must have a signed waiver on file to participate. If your
waiver is unsigned, send an email to michael@jamactive.com and we’ll send you the electronic link to sign
your waiver. Find you bib number and waiver info on our website.
PARKING
There is plenty of parking available at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium. As you can see from the map below, the
best area for parking will be the Green Lot at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium. You can enter this lot from Floyd
St just south of Central Blvd. You will then have a short walk back to your car from the Finish at Patterson
Stadium and an even shorter walk to the Start.
RACE ROUTE
This year’s race route is the same as last year’s, taking
you past many of the amazing landmarks on the
University of Louisville campus. You’ll begin by
running past the brand new Lynn Soccer Stadium, the
Yum! Center training complex, and along the track at
Cardinal Park. You’ll then enter campus by the
University Club, where you’ll run past the Student
Activities Center and the Ekstrom Library on your way
to The Oval and Grawemeyer Hall. From The Oval,
you’ll continue down S 3rd Street to finish in the
outfield inside Jim Patterson Stadium!
POST-RACE GOODIES
As you finish on the field at Jim Patterson Stadium,
we’ll have DJ K-Dogg rocking the Finish Line music!
If you are an alumni and gave us your graduation year
when you registered, we’ll announce that over the PA
system as you finish! The stadium will be open, so your
friends and family can come cheer you on from the
stands. We’ll have snacks and such for you after you
finish, as well as post-race massages
from WORKitOUT Sports Massage.
AWARDS
The top three male and top three female overall finishers will receive a great plaque! Additionally, we’ll have
certificates for the top three males and females in the following age groups: 14 & Under, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39,
40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70 & Over.
