How do I get my name tag?
Between Sept. 27th and 30th, a marathon like name tag will be emailed for every registration and all persons walking are listed on one name tag together with the primary registrant. You are responsible for printing your own name tag(s) and bringing it/them to the event. E.g. if you have 4 people in your group, please print 4 copies of the name tag. It prints on a letter sheet and then needs to be folded in half (see photo), so both sides show the name tag. Our volunteers will have lanyards for you on site Saturday morning, or you may also use your own lanyard. We will also have printers on site for those of you who are unable to print your name tags.
What if my name tag does not print correctly?
Please use print preview of your browser before printing. Under ‘Scale’, select ‘Fit to page’, if the double name tag doesn’t show all on one page.
Can my friends and I walk together in parade?
