I have registered, how do I get my shirt and bib?

Yes.  We only issue bibs to those who registered for the 5k.  If you registered for the 1 mile and wanted to switch to the 5k, you need to get a bib number from the registration table.  If you registered for the 5k and decide to do the 1 mile, please just toss your bib.  Only 5k participants are timed.
