Loop Course, Same Start and Finish
The half is a single loop starting and finishing at Parcel 5, so you'll return to the Athlete's Village. Leave a bag there and enjoy the post-race party without needing a shuttle.

Packet Pickup Gear Choices
Want the cozy hoody or crewneck? Choose it by March 15. For a guaranteed short-sleeve tech size, lock it in by March 31; otherwise you'll pick from vintage gear at Friday or Saturday packet pickup.
