The Covetted Winter Warrior Hat - Depicted Above

Packet Pickup Special - we got 150 Pink Hats - the first 150 individuals to packet pickup who want them get to choose this over the Black One.  You can indeed still choose the Black One.  Note: this is for that individual only, so if you are picking up for more than 1 person, you only get 1 Pink Hat.

NEW UPDATE as of Dec 23rd!!  Registration is coming in great, but we only have 810 TOTAL hats.  So in order to allow more people to register, for the 811th person and beyond to register you will get this awesome ceramic camp mug.  NOW.... If you qualified for the hat and don't want a hat, you are welcome to the mug instead during packet pickup. This is applicable to in person registrations only.

 

All Participants Receive a Finishers Medal.  This is what the Medallion Will Look Like!

All Participants have the option to purchase a Winter Warrior Crewneck or Hoodie Sweatshirt for $27.  Offer Ends December 13th.

All Quarter and Half Marathon Participants have the option to purchase the Four Season Challenge Entry Add-On.... Read On....

How it Works aka the "Rules"

  • You can only sign up for Four Season Challenge when signing up for Winter Warrior Half or Quarter Marathon.  This will be a $45 add on to the registration.  You won't be able to go back and add it on.  You need to commit right then and there.
  • You must complete all 4 events in the Challenge that you register for to be eligible for medals.  For example, you must complete all four half marathons if you sign up for the half marathon challenge
  • You must sign up for each of the other races in the challenge at your leisure.  This way you can budget your entry fees to the other events.
  • In other words, by getting the Four Season Challenge add on during Winter Warrior Challenge you are only entered into the Challenge NOT the other three races.  You need to do that on your own when registrations open and your budget allows.
  • Please register under the same name for each race.  Otherwise we will not know to designate you as 4SC for the other 3 events.
  • The 4SC offer ends January 5th at 5:45PM.  Due to this, so we can get all the medals & shirts ordered, they will not be available at Winter Warrior.  BUT we will ship the Winter Warrior one to you when they arrive to the address used to register for Winter Warrior.  This is the only one we will ship.  All others will be picked up at the awards table after the other 3 events.
  • The other three medals will be available at the awards table after Flower City, Shoreline and Rochester.  We will not mail these medals for the In Person Participants
  • No Refunds/Transfers nor Deferrals

Packet Pickup Info

Friday, January 5th from 10am-6pm at  Fleet Feet @ The Armory location:
155 Culver Road, Rochester, NY  14620

We highly advise everyone to go to Packet Pickup.  You may pickup for others as well.  There will be day of packet pickup at the race site from 8:45AM-9:30AM.  Day of packet pickup will close at 9:45AM

Each Relay Team member will receive a bib.  None of these bibs will have the timing chip attached to it.  Your team will also receive ONE timing bib.  This timing bib will be attached to a belt and will have a timing chip attached to the back.  This belt will have to be passed & worn by each member of the team while running their respective legs.  For example, if you are running “Leg 1”, you will wear the belt with the timing bib and after you are done with your leg, you will then pass it to your team member who is running “Leg 2”, etc.  Whoever is running the final leg needs to be wearing this belt to be sure that your team time registers at the finish line.  The race belts must be handed in at the Finish Line.

Time Cutoff

The race begins at 10AM for all events

You must start your final lap at 12:30PM.  The finish line closes at 1:30PM.
