The race will be split into 4 corrals to space runners out and give everyone a great racing experience. The letter on your race bib corresponds to your starting corral. Placement in corrals is determined by the estimated pace you provided during registration. All runners should be in their corrals by 8:15 AM. If you wish to run with a person who has been assigned a different corral you may move back to a later corral, but not forward to an earlier position. Volunteers will be in place to help guide you to the correct corral on race day!
Arriving late and scrambling to park in the morning is not a fun way to start your race, so take the time to make a plan now!
Our friends at Harbor Point have opened up their onsite parking at a rate of $5 for race morning. If you plan to access this onsite parking please observe the following:
If you'd prefer more flexibility, you can check Spothero for nearby lots and pricing info outside of Harbor Point. Please do not use SpotHero to purchase the onsite parking mentioned above as you will not have access to the $5 rate.
The following lots near the venue will NOT be accessible:
To minimize delays on race day we recommend planning to arrive no later than 7:15 AM. Give yourself extra time to account for traffic or other unexpected surprises city driving can present!
A bag check is provided for all registered participants. Bag check will be located behind Packet Pickup, on the West side of Harbor Point Plaza Greenspace. Bag check will operate from 6:30 AM to 11 AM.
RACE PREMIUM: The men’s and women’s premiums for the 2023 Under Armour Sole of the City 10K presented by Kelly Benefits is a great choice for running miles or errands - the UA Seamless Stride Long sleeve tech shirt! UA Tech 4-way stretch material moves better in every direction. Loose fit that runs true to size.
Each registrant (21 years of age and older) will receive two complimentary beers included in their registration.
