AVOID RACE DAY HASSLES - Last Minute Race Registration and Race Number and Shirt Pickup for Pre-registered Runners: Wednesday evening, November 23, 6:00PM until 9:00PM, at the Winner's Circle Sports Bar, 211 Elm Street, Salisbury MA. It is a popular night for the sports bar, so consider parking in the shopping center off of Merrill street (see the Google map). The big store in the shopping center is vacant, so there is nearly unlimited parking in the lot in front of the store, very close to the Winners Circle. "Race Day" entries will be accepted Wednesday night as well, if the registration limit has not been reached (see above) . Number and shirt pickup will also be available race day, but early pickup will allow you to "sleep in" (a little) and enjoy Thanksgiving Day hassle free!

Race day registration and number/shirt pickup opens at 7:00AM Thursday morning at Pipestave.

AS THE RESULT OF AN ADDITIONAL ORDER, T-SHIRTS ARE STILL AVAILABLE FOR RACE DAY REGISTRATION (ABOUT 125 SHIRTS AVAILABLE FOR RACE DAY).
