Early Race Packet Pick-Up

Avoid the registration table crowds on race day by picking up your race packet which includes: t-shirt, bib number, goody bag and timing chip (if you are being timed) on Saturday, June 7th. You can stop by the upper level of the Seattle Animal Shelter between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Please bring a photo ID and/or the e-mail confirmation you received if you registered for the race online.

All team captains are strongly encouraged to pick up their team members' race packets during this time. Please note that team captains are responsible for distributing the packets to their team members.

The Seattle Animal Shelter is located at 2061 15th Ave. West.

If you have questions about early race packet pick up, please email Tiffany White at: tiffanywhite76@hotmail.com.

Collect Pledges! Registering is the first step in helping the animals. To make an even bigger impact, we encourage you collect donations from your family, friends and colleagues. If every participant collected just one $25 pledge, we’d raise another $75,000!! Think of all the lives that could save. To read about how the Help the Animals Fund saves lives, click here.

And don’t forget to talk to your company about matching donations!
