PARKING
There is plenty of parking located at South High School and around Washington Park. Please be sure you pay attention to parking signage around residential areas as some sections have limited one-hour public parking.
BIBS AND TIMING
As a reminder, your bib is your entry into the event and other activities. You must wear it on your front and on the outermost layer of clothing you will be participating in. Your bib is also your timing tag and you will notice it on the back of your bib. PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE. Also, please be careful not to fold, bend, or wrinkle your bib to prevent damage to the timing tag. The timing tags are disposable and do not need to be returned.
VIRTUAL SIGNUP
Are you are registered for the series but unable to participate in person in one or more of the RunDenver Series events and don't want to miss out on the cool swag, the epic medal, and points for the series awards? No sweat! You can participate virtually from anywhere (home, treadmill, Greece - if the latter just take us) We just need you to follow a few easy steps (please note, this does NOT apply if you registered for doing the whole series virtually).    

Here is what you need to do:

  1. Tell us which event(s) you want to run virtually via this private page. You can sign up for multiple all at once, or come back multiple times and sign up for each one individually. You must signup no later than the start time of each event (8 a.m.) on the event day.
  2. Select if you will pick up your swag at the next packet pickup, at the next event, or you can have it mailed to you for a small shipping and handling fee (you may also pick it up at the advanced packet pickup for on Jan 15th).
  3. Run, walk, skip your event virtually when it works best for you, but to be included in the official results, you must complete the event from Jan 16 to Jan 23).
  4. Chill and be Thrilled with your Polar Bear awesomeness!
HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR VIRTUAL RESULTS

General Process: we have made the process easier, you will now receive an email from Sodisp to connect with the event(s) you are participating in virtually and record your results).

  • Step 1: Do the Virtual Signup (above) if you have not already. You will receive an email from Sodisp close to event day with an invite to connect for results submission. If you don't have an account with Sodisp already, you can set up one easily by going here (create an account)

  • Step 2: From your invite email, click the link and follow the instructions.
 
  • Step 3: The link you get will contain your personal verification code (so keep that to yourself). You should not need to enter it in, but if you have any issues, just reach out to us and we will help you get it all set up.

  • Step 4: Start logging activities - Once you are connected with the event you can start entering activities. You can open the Connections section in your profile to connect your sodisp account with popular GPS devices and apps. Doing this has the benefit of automatically syncing your activities straight from the watch/app into your virtual event with no manual steps in between, or you can also do manual entry of your run/walk if you don't have, or don't want to use a GPS watch or app.

  • Step 5: Have fun and run for the thrill of it. It was so easy even a Polar Bear could do it.
