Fees are $120 per 2-person team and $240 per 4-person team. Pre-race packet pickup is available the day before the race at Bull City Running - Downtown; one person may pick up packets for the whole team. Parking at the Speedway is not available and all participants and spectators are asked to carpool; parking will be directed to nearby properties with about a 5 to 10 minute walk to the track. Awards are given for 2-person and 4-person divisions in all-male, all-female, and co-ed categories. Participants receive custom race swag, snacks and refreshments, and a post-race BBQ.
