Mail-in registration

Bib-Tags

A disposable tag eliminates the need to worry about turning in your chip after the race and allows you to spend more time focusing on competing. Shorter lines before the race to pick up your bib and chip, and no line to return your tag or chip afterwards, are just some of the benefits to the Bib-Tag system.

The Bib-Tag is easy to use- it is attached to your number bib- you don't have to do anything to use aside from pinning your number onto your shirt. We do ask that you DO NOT FOLD or BEND YOUR BIB IN ANY WAY. This could compromise the tag causing it to not work accurately.

Late Registration, Packet Pick-up

Late registration and packet pick-up will be at the main office of the MSU Federal Credit Union (3777 West Road E. Lansing, map), on Friday, Oct. 4, 10:00AM - 5:30PM; and Saturday, Oct 5, 9:30AM - 2:00PM; or at the MSU Museum on race day, 8:30AM - 9:30AM

Divisions

Walkers!

The walk will be competitive. Therefore, if you register to walk, you cannot run at any time during the race. If you plan to run even a small portion of the race, please register in one of the run categories. Walk monitors will be stationed on the course. If three monitors report that any walk participant was running during the race, that participant will be moved to the run division.

Race Day Activities

A number of activities, including a walk clinic and aerobics warm-up, are planned. Special guest appearances, entertainment, and children's activities are fun for the whole family.

Attention Walkers

On Sunday, October 6, members of the Capital City Race Walkers will present a walk clinic at 9:30 a.m. on the east side of the MSU Museum. Learn how to walk faster, more efficiently and legal. For more information contact Sue Hammar at hammar@msu.edu. All ages and skill levels are welcome!
