All participants receive a QR code via email with their registration confirmation. If picking up other packets YOU MUST HAVE THOSE QR CODES. This avoids handing out the wrong packets due to similar or misspelled names.

Virtual Packets:   Packets will automatically be shipped within two weeks after the race and will either have a paper bib or digital one via email. We cannot ship outside the US. Feel free to post a picture of yourself completing the race and tag us @flodashevents #flodashrunner #virtualrace

What do I get with my Entry?
All participants will receive a chip timed bib, a gender specific singlet, a finisher's medal and a post race snack and beverage. All runners and walkers on the course MUST BE REGISTERED.  Anyone running without a bib is subjecting themselves to a misdemeanor and putting the race in jeopardy.  If you want to pace a child, spouse or friend, you MUST register as well.

Participants showing up with a dog will be kindly asked to leave the course.   Service dogs will be allowed and we ask that you please line up at the end of the pack.  Jogging strollers are allowed on the race course during the event BUT be aware this is an off road race and pushing a stroller may be less than ideal.

Pacing & Bandit Policy for Our Events  

To keep our races safe and fair, we have rules for pacing and unregistered participants. Here’s what you need to know:

• No Unregistered Pacers: If you’re a registered runner being paced by someone who hasn’t paid to participate, you will be disqualified, and the unregistered pacer will be asked to leave the course. They may also receive an invoice for their participation.
  
  
• Guides for Athletes with Disabilities: We’re committed to making our races accessible. If you’re pacing or guiding an athlete with a disability, please reach out to us in advance. We’ll work with you to approve guides on a case-by-case basis.
  
  
• Everyone on Course Needs a Bib & Waiver: For safety and accountability, all participants (whether pacing or racing) must have an assigned bib and signed waiver—NO EXCEPTIONS! If you’d like to pace a friend, spouse, or child, you must register and pay to join them. If a non-paid runner has a medical emergency, we have no way of identifying them or notifying emergency contacts, which creates serious liability risks. JUST DON'T DO IT!
  
  
• Race Bandits Policy: Anyone running part or all of the course without a registration and bib is considered a "race bandit." We know some people think, “I don’t need a shirt or medal, so why pay?” The registration fee covers much more than these items—it funds the entire race experience, from course marking and volunteer coordination to hiring medics, announcers, and police. If you are caught, you will be banned from future FloDash Events races and social meetups.
  
  
• No Unauthorized Pacers on Vehicles: Any pacers using scooters, bikes, or motorbikes must receive clearance from us before race day. This is for the safety of all participants and to ensure we know who is on the course at all times. Unauthorized vehicles will be asked to leave the course.  

Thank you for respecting these rules and helping us maintain a safe, fun, and fair race for all participants!
