• We will have the option for you to pick up your race bag on either Friday October 13th, from 4-6pm at 7:24 Fitness on the Rock in Rock Falls, or you can pick up between 7-8am at Selmi's right by the start/finish line.
• All participants will get a coupon for a FREE apple cider donut and drink from Selmi's, as well as a wristband for general admission into Selmi's if you want to check out all the great things they have to offer after you are done running/walking. We just ask if you bring family with you, that they go to the entrance of Selmi's and pay their general admission price, which I believe is $8.
• We will have water, fruit and granola bars for everyone when you finish, and we will also have other drinks for purchase. We encourage you to grab some lunch from one of our sponsors. If you are from out of town, we would gladly share our recommendations.
• You can park in Selmi's parking lot, but please park in the back in the grass area to leave room for their customers in front. You can also park across the street on Martin Rd and in the parking lot of Good Shephard Lutheran church.
• Make sure you follow our Sauk Valley Apple Cider Run Facebook page as that will be a great resource as we post updates and course details.
• Rain or shine we will still have the run, so please be prepared. The majority of the course is on pavement, but there is about a 1/2 mile section that is grass, which depending on how much rain is received race week, may be soft/muddy.
• There will be water stations throughout the course, as well as porta potties.
• Top overall Male and Female runners for each distance will win an awesome trophy, and we will also have finisher medals for the 1/2 marathon runners, and age group medals for all distances.
• We will have race day registration available for anyone looking to sign up last minute from 7-8am under the tent at Selmi's right by the start/finish line.
• If you have any questions please email us at svappleciderrun@gmail.com
• We look forward to having you join us, and are hoping for some great weather!
