(The race shirt is nice, so is the finisher tee) - If you are within the first 300 people at the booth, you can customize your shirt Race Day: - Run is held in City Hall Area - Water points - 100 Plus / Ice mountain available - After the race you get a Finisher Tee, which I personally think is more useful that a finisher's medal - You can take photos at the pho...
