Race Office

Event staff check-in

All event staff, vendors, guests and Forward Command attendees will be directed to the Race Office trailer to pick up event-issued materials. Please remember a government–issued photo I.D. is required upon check-in. 

NEW Race Office location

The Race Office is indicated on the map below, east of Hamlin Boulevard and north of Jackson Boulevard in Garfield Park.  

Please note: Parking, stopping, stalling or pulling over is NOT permitted on any of the streets surrounding the Race Office. Please utilize legal street parking if you visit the Race Office before Sunday morning.

Merchandise and credentials

All event staff and key volunteers will be issued a credential and merchandise upon checking in. Your personalized credential must be worn at all times while you are onsite, providing you access to your work area and serving as your ID for meals and equipment checkout.

Merchandise will be assigned based on the sizes selected in your EMOS profile. We ask that you please review and (if necessary) update the sizes selected in your profile. While we will do our best to accommodate merchandise requests, we cannot guarantee you will receive the sizes you requested.

Please note: Parking, stopping, stalling or pulling over is NOT permitted on any of the streets surrounding the Race Office. Please utilize legal street parking if you visit the Race Office before Sunday morning. For more information on parking and other options for getting here, please visit our webpage with travel information.

As a safety and security measure, we ask that you do not share photos of your event-issued credential on social media. While we encourage you to share your experience with your friends and family, we do not want this to interfere with your race role.

Join us in donating gently used books and running shoes!

We’re partnering with Open Books and Sneaker Impact to upcycle gently used books and running shoes. These programs support local and global communities while aligning with our larger sustainability and social impact initiatives. Collection boxes will be available at the Race Office. We hope you will join us in helping to make a positive impact and give your items a second life!
