RunSBY Events (Salisbury Marathon/Salisbury Half Marathon/5k)

8 is great!!! 8 years of running the RunSBY Events!  Come celebrate with us on Saturday, April 4th, 2026!  Join us in 2026 for a flat and FAST marathon and half marathon course!  Our BQ percentage is tremendous, so this could be your chance to qualify for a major!!

Our Marathon and Half Marathon courses share the same course for the first 10.8 miles before splitting off to finish out their courses. All marathon runners can even use this point as a bail-out, if they like, to complete the half marathon. 

Our courses have a 16 min/mile pace requirement, so our MARATHON must be completed in 7 hours and our HALF MARATHON must be completed in 3 1/2 hours.

**Based on a final Marathon Start time (last runner over the start line) by 7:25 am, all runners approaching the Marathon/Half-marathon split point at Mile 10.8 AFTER 10:20 am,  will be directed to the half marathon course. They will receive a finish time for the half marathon. **

*The 16 minute/mile pace for the Half-Marathon will begin when the last half marathoner crosses the start mat**

TCR EVENT MANAGEMENT APP

This app is the same used at the Boston Marathon and events throughout the world! With this app you can find out pertinent information such as the schedule for awards, look at the course, take a selfie and, most importantly TRACK YOUR RUNNERS!!!

Be sure to find the app in the Google Play Store or on Apple by searching TCR EVENT MANAGEMENT!!

BIB NUMBER

Q. What is my bib number for the event? Why haven’t I seen any bib numbers? When will I know my bib number?

Bib numbers, and Wave assignments, will occur in the next few weeks. The bib numbers will coincide with the Wave number that you are assigned, based on your estimated finish times. Bibs will be color coded by wave, and we will strictly enforce the wave assignments, as we are restricted in the numbers that we are allowed to gather at one time, in one place.

Q. But how will my friends be able to track me?

A. All runners are already loaded on our app. By going to the LIVE TRACKING section of our app (found under TCR Event Management) you can enter last name and have your family and friends track you!

Q. Where does my bib number go?

A. Your bib has a MyLaps Bibtag timing chip on the backside. Your bib also has YOUR unique bib number to it. In order to accurately track your running AND to ensure that you are able to get all of those great (and FREE!!!) race photos, we ask that you wear your bib number visibly on your chest/waist area. Please do not plan to wear any garments over your bib, as this will make identification for photos more difficult. Please wear the bib horizontally, so that our photo recognition software can read it, and so that the timing chip can accurately be registered on the mats.

PACKET PICKUP

There are TWO OPTIONS for packet pickup this year

1)    Drive through Packet Pickup The Night (or two) Before The Race

2)    Bib Mailing Option – Available When You Register for $5

RACE DAY

PARKING/SHUTTLES ON RACE MORNING

The City of Salisbury graciously allows for the use of the City Parking Garage for our event on RACE DAY, FREE of charge!!! The garage is located at 110 Circle Avenue, Salisbury, MD.

Full and Half Marathon Participants – LIMITED SHUTTLES, PLEASE CONSIDER WALKING TO THE START

If you MUST take the shuttle, you will leave from the garage and walk to your RIGHT, where you will meet with the FREE shuttle buses that will take you over to your start line. SPECTATORS are allowed on the shuttles. Should you want a brief warmup, the start line for the Full and Half are less than ½ mile away and can be found at the Bandstand at the City Park (521 S. Park Drive, Salisbury)

Shuttle Service will be from 5:30 am with a final trip leaving around 6:50. Shuttles will pause at the Start area and move SPECTATORS back to the garage after the start of the event.

5k Participants

Your start area is approximately 2 blocks from the Parking Garage. Please do not take the shuttles. You WILL be allowed back to your car at any time.

GEAR BAGS

For the Full and Half-Marathon, we will provide you with a CLEAR PLASTIC BAG to put any clothes or items you would like moved from the start line to the finish line area. Please refrain from putting any valuables in this bag as we will not be responsible for lost or missing bags.

You may ONLY use the bag we provide as these bags are CLEAR for security purposes only. We will have sharpies on site to write your number on the bag, and your bib will also have a detachable tab to affix to your bag with items we will have at the Check in area.

Gear Drop bags will be collected at the Bandstand area of the Start line for the Full and Half ONLY. 5k participants will not have a gear drop area, as you will be parked about 2 blocks from your start/finish area.

Once you finish, you will find your gear bags immediately after the finish line, in numerical order.  Please make sure to have your bib with you for collection of the bag. No other persons may collect your gear bag, unless they have your bib.

ON COURSE SUPPORT

Medical

We have  EMS Cyclists from Salisbury Fire Department on course,  and to top it all off, all of our volunteers are offered to be trained in HANDS ONLY CPR! Your safety is our goal!

IF you should need any type of assistance and are able to move under your own power, you will be directed to make it either to the next, or previous, aide station, dependent on your proximity. IF you need assistance, please do not continue on course, with the hopes that we will find you. Go to the closest aide station and wait. 

Pacers

Pacers are provided, as our friends from Beast Pacing will be out there to help you reach your goal. As you line up for the Full and Half Marathon, please look for the pacer for your estimated time.

               Marathon Pacers (hours:minutes)                           3:35, 3:50, 4:05, 4:20, 4:35, 5:00, 5:30

               Half Marathon Pacers (hours:minutes)                    1:40, 1:50, 2:00, 2:15, 2:30, 2:45, 3:00

Cyclists

We provide cyclists on course to help to guide runners and to be mobile eyes and ears, should any runner need emergency assistance. ONLY OUR CYCLISTS are authorized to be on course and they are on course for your safety.

SPECTATORS ON COURSE

Maryland COVID Guidelines only allow for 250 persons to gather at one time, and this number, for events such as this, also include the spectators. We ask that you limit the number of spectators present, especially at the START LINE. This will be the most highly saturated area of people, and we want to stay within our limit. By utilizing the LIVE TRACKING functionality of the TCR EVENT MANAGEMENT app, spectators WILL know when their Marathon and Half Marathon runners are within 1 mile of the finish line, so that they can meet them at the finish. We ask that spectators not congregate at the finish line if their runner is not nearby.

Other than this location,  Spectators are discouraged from parking out on the course. Please understand that we take over a full lane of traffic for most of the race, and disrupt most residents typical day. If we have spectators parking on the side of the road and on people’s yards, then we disrespect our friends and the trust that they have given us in still allowing them to move around the County.

Bicyclists are NOT ALLOWED on course unless they are a part of our cycling team, out there to ensure that all of the runners are safe and not in need of assistance. If a spectator is riding with an athlete, that athlete MAY be disqualified from the course. The rider will be asked, by law enforcement, to leave the course.

IF you would like to be a part of the event and help ALL runners, feel free to check out the VOLUNTEER section of the main website at www.RunSBY.com

Thank you for choosing the Salisbury Marathon, Half-Marathon and #RunSBY 5k events! We hope that this has answered any questions that you may have. If you have addition questions, please feel free to reach out to us at info@runsby.com  and we will do our best to answer you in a timely manner.

Looking forward to seeing you all out on course and being a part of this experience with you!

Map My Run Map

WOW!!! What a weekend!! Sorry this has taken so long to get out there but we wanted to get you EVERYTHING, all at once!!!

First off, your time!! Your finish time is %INDIVIDUAL_RESULTS_LINK%

First off... CONGRATULATIONS!!! We had a lot of first timers, lots of seasoned vets, and some FAST folks out there! The Top 20 marathon times were ALL under 3 hours!! You guys were so fast that we had, according to MarathonGuide.com we had almost 25% of our Marathon field qualify, making us currently 4th in the country!!   And our Top 13 Half marathoners all broke 1 hour 20 minutes! Zoom zoom!! Certainly not slow were the 5k runners, with the Top 3 all clocking sub 6 minute miles!

We want to give everyone a few days to look over their results and, if you think there is an issue, just click that button on the results screen to send an email to our timers. 

Secondly... pictures are up! We didn't make a big deal out of it, but all of your race photos are 100% FREE! No watermarks, just click download and they are yours!!! If you don't see yourself in the photos, just type Missing, and you'll have to sort through (apparently low sun in the morning did NOT do well with the 5k bibs). It will be worth it though. Be sure to check out the photos at https://www.chessiephoto.com/salisbury2021

And to go with those pictures, did you know that if you click on your name in the results, you will find a Finisher Certificate to be able to download? Yours is %FINISHER_CERTIFICATE_LINK%

Finally, we would love to hear your feedback on the event! We've seen you all screaming it from the rooftops, and we THANK YOU for that! We want to know what we can do to make it even better for you. When we can have the party, and the bands, and the gathering back, this finish line gets hopping! We can't WAIT. To take the survey, just click the link https://forms.gle/gpXvkPVVUNRLdAuBA

Be on the lookout for registration for the 2022 event. Race date is Saturday, April 2nd, 2022
We will open registration next week (4/12/21) and we hope you'll be back!!!

Thank you again, from everyone on the team, from the volunteers and emergency staff, and from the City of Salisbury and Wicomico County! We can't WAIT to see you again!

Don't forget, any questions, we are just an email away at info@runsby.com

First of all, I heard you in the comments. Hopefully this background and font color is easier. See? We actually read those surveys! So if you missed the survey, here it is!! https://forms.gle/WvwzT4aEYstNaC7b9

We wanted to check in and make sure that everyone was feeling well. We had people who had reached out to us before the race, saying that they weren't feeling well, and we appreciate the honesty. We know the protocols put in place should keep everyone safe, but we wanted to follow up, 72 hours later, and see if anyone was experiencing any symptoms that we needed to be made aware of. 

We appreciate your honest answers to this, and ask that you send a NEW email to info@runsby.com and let us know, only if you ARE experiencing any new symptoms and/or have tested positive for COVID-19 in the past few days. Awkward, we know, but it is all to make sure that we were able to keep you safe and continue to check on your well being. 

Thank you for everthing, and above all:
Be safe. Be well. Be kind. 

Jason and the RunSBY team

Road Runners Club of America Certified Coach Vanessa Junkin has created training plans to use for the Salisbury Marathon and Salisbury Half Marathon. Vanessa is an accomplished runner from the area and is a part of our local running group, the Eastern Shore Running Club.

Feel free to ask any questions and be sure to check out our Facebook Discussion Group. The Facebook Discussion Group can be found HERE.

Full Marathon Training Plans
Are you interested in running a marathon? Vanessa recommends that your total weekly mileage averages at least 15-plus miles per week before the start of the 13-week plan. If your mileage is lower, you may want to consider the half marathon for this year and the full marathon for next year.

Beginner Marathon Training Plan

Vanessa initially created a higher-mileage plan when she trained for the Salisbury Marathon in 2019, basing this on her own running. She does not recommend using this plan unless you have regularly been running 30-plus-mile weeks. You have a high likelihood of getting injured if you bump up the mileage too quickly.

More Advanced Marathon Training Plan

Half Marathon Training Plans
Vanessa has created two training plans for the half marathon. The beginner plan is for people planning to run their first half marathon or for people who want a three-day-per-week running plan to fit into their schedule. Vanessa recommends that your total weekly mileage averages at least 10-plus miles per week before the start of the 13-week plan. If your mileage is lower, you may want to consider the 5K for this year and aim for the half marathon next year.

Beginner Half Marathon Training Plan

The intermediate plan is for people who have already run a half marathon and who are consistently running at least 15 miles per week before the start of the 13-week plan. This plan also includes some tempo and interval work to help you get faster.

Intermediate Half Marathon Training Plan

Tips and Notes from Vanessa
A training plan is a guide. You do not have to follow a plan to the tee. If a different day works better for you, do your run on that day. However, do not put two tough days next to each other (for example, a faster run and then a long run). If you miss a run, don't beat yourself up over it. It's your running as a whole over the training period that will make a difference, not a run or two.

I have written these plans around two of the Eastern Shore Running Club group runs, which are Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 6 p.m. In 2020, we added two group runs, on Mondays and Fridays at 5 a.m. from the same location. We meet at the Salisbury Bible Fellowship parking lot, and runners of all paces are welcome and encouraged to run with us. The regular route is 3.5 miles, and I stay with the slowest-paced runner.

NOTE: To slow the spread of COVID-19, the ESRC group runs are currently limited to a max of 15 people, and people must sign up via our Facebook group. There are also guidelines in place.

If you are running to finish — without a specific time goal — you do not have to do speed work (known as long intervals), but I have added in optional interval work as we get a little bit higher in mileage. If you’ve regularly been running 20-22 miles a week or more, I’d recommend adding on 2-3 conversation pace miles for each week.

Running is the most important thing you need to do to become a stronger runner, so I haven't included specific cross-training on the plans, but if you have something you like, feel free to do it. But if you are going to do a hard cross-training workout, don’t do it the day before or of your long run, or the same day as a tough run, for example.

Remember to run about 80 percent of your miles at an easy conversation pace — a pace at which you could have a conversation.

Hydration is so important, even when it's cold outside.

You can use long runs to see what kind of on-the-run nutrition, hydration and clothing works for you. Don't do anything new on race day.

GEAR BAGS

For the Full and Half-Marathon, we will provide you with a CLEAR PLASTIC BAG to put any clothes or items you would like moved from the start line to the finish line area. Please refrain from putting any valuables in this bag as we will not be responsible for lost or missing bags.

You may ONLY use the bag we provide as these bags are CLEAR for security purposes only. We will have sharpies on site FOR OUR VOLUNTEERS to write your number on the bag, and your bib will also have a detachable tab to affix to your bag with items we will have at the Check in area.

Gear Drop bags will be collected as you walk towards the start line. There will be designated blocks to put your appropriately numbered bags,  for the Full and Half ONLY. 5k participants will not have a gear drop area, as you will be parked about 2 blocks from your start/finish area.

Once you finish, you will find your gear bags immediately after the finish line, in numerical order.  Please make sure to have your bib with you for collection of the bag. No other persons may collect your gear bag, unless they have your bib.

ON COURSE SUPPORT

Medical

We have medical staff out on course at various aide stations this year, as well as EMS Cyclists from Salisbury Fire Department. Your safety is our goal!

IF you should need any type of assistance and are able to move under your own power, you will be directed to make it either to the next, or previous, aide station, dependent on your proximity. IF you need assistance, please do not continue on course, with the hopes that we will find you. Go to the closest aide station and wait. 

Pacers

Pacers are provided, as our friends from Beast Pacing will be out there to help you reach your goal. As you line up for the Full and Half Marathon, please look for the pacer for your estimated time.

               Marathon Pacers (hours:minutes)                           3:35, 3:50, 4:05, 4:20, 4:35, 5:00, 5:30

               Half Marathon Pacers (hours:minutes)                    1:40, 1:50, 2:00, 2:15, 2:30, 2:45, 3:00

Cyclists

We provide cyclists on course to help to guide runners and to be mobile eyes and ears, should any runner need emergency assistance. ONLY OUR CYCLISTS are authorized to be on course and they are on course for your safety.

BIB NUMBER

Q. What is my bib number for the event? Why haven’t I seen any bib numbers? When will I know my bib number?

Bib numbers will be assigned when you check in for packet pickup on Thursday or Friday. REMEMBER, THERE IS NO RACE DAY PACKET PICKUP. If you are a bib mailing entrant, you will receive your bib in the mail, prior to the event. 

Q. But how will my friends be able to track me?

A. All runners are already loaded on RaceJoy (search for RunSBY, or Salisbury Marathon). By going to the Find Particpant section of RaceJoy you can enter last name and have your family and friends track you!

Q. Where does my bib number go?

A. Your bib has a MyLaps Bibtag timing chip on the backside. Your bib also has YOUR unique bib number to it. In order to accurately track your running AND to ensure that you are able to get all of those great (and FREE!!!) race photos, we ask that you wear your bib number visibly on your chest/waist area. Please do not plan to wear any garments over your bib, as this will make identification for photos more difficult. Please wear the bib horizontally, so that our photo recognition software can read it, and so that the timing chip can accurately be registered on the mats.

Defer My Entry To Next Year's Race - cut off for deferral is March 30th. $15 through March 16th. $30 through March 30th

Transfer My Entry To Another Individual - cut off is April 1st. No processing fee to transfer your registration

Good afternoon everyone! We hope that you are excited for the upcoming RunSBY Events as we are to host you. The City of Salisbury and Wicomico County is preparing to make sure that your experience is a memorable one, and that you make our area a MUST VISIT as you travel. 

We wanted to let everyone know that the BEST place for all of your most up to date information is, and always will be, the website (www.RunSBY.com). To that point, we have placed the most UP TO DATE Athlete Guide there (also attached to this). The most important things to note are the location of the Drive Through Packet Pickups (Henson Family YMCA - use the Church Hill Ave entrance), aid stations (every 3 miles with small bottles of water, Gatorade, Gu gels *Lemon sublime - No caffeine, Tri-berry - Caffeinated, and Clif bar minis. 

ALSO OF NOTE, THE STATE OF MARYLAND HAS MADE THE OUT-OF-STATE TRAVEL AN ADVISORY, NOT A MADATE. This means that we would adivse everyone that they should quarantine, vaccinate or have a negative COVID-19 test, but it is not mandated. The COVID-19 Questionnaire that we send out to be completed on Wednesday of race week IS STILL MANDATORY. 

Let's talk BIB MAILING, WAVE ASSIGNMENTS and PACKET PICKUP. THERE IS NO DAY OF PACKET PICKUP!!!!  You have until 12pm on Sunday, March 14, to follow the instructions on EDITING AND ADDING ON, on the main page of the site (4th button down on the left) to add the Bib Mailing Option, should you not be able to make a DRIVE THROUGH PACKET PICKUP (whose times are listed in the athlete guide). Once more, NO RACE DAY PACKET PICKUP. All bib mailings will be sent out on Monday. 

WAVE and BIB ASSIGNMENTS will be made this weekend. Anyone who registers after this weekend, OR DOES NOT HAVE AN UPDATED FINISH TIME (also available in the video under EDITING AND ADDING ON) will be assigned the second wave of their respective waves for the Full and Half. 5kers... you can sit that one out. You have 1 wave. 

We are also going to create a new tab on the Main Page labelled EMAILS. This will begin with this email, and we will copy and paste them in to there, with dates and descriptions. If you have a friend who isn't getting the emails (because let's face it, if you are reading this, you are getting the emails), let them know that is where they will be. 

That's all for now. FINAL REMINDER, There is NO RACE DAY PACKET pickup. If you need your bib mailed, you have until Sunday, March 14th, 2021, to add on the bib mailing. (no race day packet pickup... just had to say it once more). 

Stay tuned for more information and, as always, if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at info@runsby.com 

We are excited to present you with the 2023 RunSBY Events Athlete Guide. This guide is attached to the email, and is also available for download at our main site at www.RunSBY.com 

We still have a few details that we are going to be keeping you up to date on, but we still have the SAME GREAT COURSE, and TWO opportunities (Thursday and Friday) for Packet Pickup at the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center (500 Glen Ave, Salisbury). 

NEW THIS YEAR!!! We have a STORE!!! IF you haven't seen the tab at www.RunSBY.com be sure to check out the store directly at https://gilmansurge.com/runsby

This store will close in one week, and if you are able to order before that, you will be guaranteed to have your gear in time for the run. We will also have small quantities for sale on site, on Thursday and Friday at packet pickup. 

Should you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at info@RunSBY.com and we'll be happy to help. We are excited to host you all on Saturday, April 1st!!! See you soon!

WHOA!!! Just over 10 days left!!! You all are amazing, and we can't wait to host you for the weekend!! We know that not everyone is getting these emails (stupid SPAM filters....) but we are happy to continue to put them on our website under the EMAILS tab. 

We just wanted to reach out and let you know a couple changes in the athlete guide, which will be attached to this email AND updated on the website. Don't worry, nothing crazy... just some updates and graphics and such as well as a few key points. 

BIB MAILINGS
First of all BIB MAILINGS all went out last Monday. A few folks still haven't gotten them yet, but that is why we sent them out almost 3 weeks early. If you haven't gotten your bib by MONDAY, March 29th, please reach out to us at INFO@RUNSBY.COM. For those of you who DID get your bibs, instructions on where you will get the rest of your SWAG, after the race, on the 3rd, is included. It is one block from the finish line and will have EVERYTHING else you need!

AID STATIONS
Aid station maps have been updated and added in the Athlete Guide, as well as under the COURSES tab on the front page. 

RUCK DIVISION
We've added some details about our RUCK division. What's a ruck? It is an athlete who opts to carry a 20 pound backpack on their back for the duration of the event. We have asked that this 20 pounds consist of food stuff that can be donated to our local food bank/pantry. THANK YOU for all that are challenging themselves with this! We can't wait to see the pile of food at the finish!

CORRAL STAGING
We have added a map to the Athlete Guide that shows the Corral Staging areas of at the park. If you are being dropped off by somone, they will only be able to get to Snow Hill Rd at S Park Drive, but great news, that is where we are staging!! There will be FOUR designated staging areas, each with it's own port-o-john set and an area for you to drop morning clothes bags. PLEASE, MAKE SURE THE CORRAL YOU ARE IN MATCHES YOUR BIB!!! Also, please adhere to masking policies (WEAR IT!!) and maintain 6 feet of distance from others. 

FOOD VOUCHERS
Finally, thanks to our friends at Downtown SBY (www.downtownsby.com) , we will have food vouchers for everyone, in their SWAG bag. 

Our friends at Downtown SBY (www.downtownsby.com ) have a surprise for you!! EVERY participant will receive, in their SWAG bag, a $5 voucher for participating local restaurants and attractions, including MayaBella’s Pizza, The Ugly Pie, The Brick Room, Roadie Joe’s Bar and Grill, Mogan’s Oyster House, Cake Art, The Mad Hatter/Looking Glass, Angellos Scoops and Unique Gifts, Evolution Craft Brewing, and Brew River. Local shops including the Bomshell Boutique, Lilac Clothing Company, Lurking Class Skate Shop, Escape Room Salisbury and The MudHud-Clay Art Studio, will also accept the $5 vouchers! Multiple Vouchers CAN be applied to the same check!

We are very excited to be able to present this event to you, and to show off the AMAZING City of Salisbury and Wicomico County. We can't wait to have an amazing day with you! 

As always, if there are any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at info@runsby.com 

Jason and the RunSBY Team

Hi everyone! Hoping this finds you well and getting tuned up for the RunSBY Events, presented by Pohanka of Salisbury, next weekend. We wanted to address a few questions that keep popping up. 

1) Bib mailing - If you had signed up for the Bib Mailing option before March 15th, and haven't received it yet, don't stress yet. We knew that there may be some delays with the USPS, which is why we sent them so early. IF, by MONDAY, March 29th, you don't have your bib yet, THEN send us an email to info@runsby.com

2) Registration closing - We are going to close registration TOMORROW night (Friday) at midnight, so that we can do some housekeeping. That housekeeping includes:
      - pulling people in from the Waiting List for other           distances
     - SHIFTING SOME WAVES AROUND!! We hope to           have all of our waves sorted by Saturday                   afternoon. We will be shifting those of you who         registered, after the wave assignment, in the             appropriate wave IF WE CAN!!!

3) COVID Questionnaire - We will send out the COVID Questionnaire on Wednesday, April 1st. This is a simple Google Form with a few COVID symptom questions. If you have a hard time getting the emails, we will also be putting it on the website. This is a Google Form and needs to only be filled out ONCE, and you DO NOT HAVE TO PRINT. 

4) Spectators - Please discourage spectators from coming to the Start Line, as this is the greatest concentration of people. IF they DO HAVE to come, they must wear a mask and remain 6 feet away from others. They are able to track you, via text updates, by going to PARTICIPANT TRACKING tab on the menu at www.RunSBY.com or by downloading the TCR Event Management app on the Google and Apple Stores. 

5) Please read the athlete guide (attached to this email, again). Please know the rules that we have to abide by. You WILL leave with your wave. You WILL complete the COVID questionnaire. You WILL wear a mask when you are not running. Please understand that these rules are here so that we can have a race. We must ALL follow the rules. Don't be that person who ruins it for everyone! Be safe! Be well! Be kind!

So... this is the email that went out, but it has some special codes inside of it that PROBABLY aren't going to show on this, Sooooooo.....

If you don't get the email, go to the PARTICIPANT TRACKING button on the main menu, ON A DESKTOP COMPUTER!!!!! For some reason the wave doesn't show on a mobile device. 

------------------------------

If you haven't been able to find your Bib Number or which Wave you have been assigned to in the PARTICIPANT TRACKING tab on the main menu of the site, here it is!!  If you have been checking for your wave on mobile, we are aware of a glitch that doesn't show the wave. 

We will make this super easy for race day. The wave you are assigned right now is the only wave that you will be allowed in. We are at capacity at every wave, and have the Health Dept on site regulating our numbers, so please, look at the color of your bib, and the Wave number, and only come in to the start corral when your wave is called. We will not make exceptions that may jeopardize the entire race. 

Your bib number is %BIB_NUMBER% and your corral is %CORRAL_DESC% with a start time of %CORRAL_START_TIME%. 

With any other questions, please check your athlete guide! We have a few more emails coming out this week as we prepare for an AMAZING day!

Thank you!

Jason and the RunSBY Team

Good morning Virtual Racers (unless it is you in Africa, Mayor Day, we have no idea what time it is there!!!)!!!!

We didn't want you to miss out on this exciting week or racing. We are sure you have been getting all of the emails for the in-person racers and wondering... What about me?  Well we want to thank you, and let you know how to submit your results, and when to expect your SWAG!

WHEN TO RUN
First of all, you can run, any time, any place, between NOW and April 11th. And the great part about the event is you can PIECE TOGETHER your Full, Half or 5k event. That's right! If you want to challenge yourself, you can do little pieces of the event, on different days, and log them all in. When April 11th comes around, we will check the tally and send you the appropriate medal, with the rest of your gear. 

BIBS
Digital bibs are here! Find your name in the PARTICIPANT TRACKING section of the main site, or %DIGITAL_BIB_LINK% to download and print your bib, should you want to run with one! Not necessary to do, but lots of fun!

SUBMITTING RESULTS
Submitting results couldn't be easier. Just go to the RESULTS tab on the RunSBY.com page and, at the top, you will find a special box where you can submit VIRTUAL RESULTS. Just enter your name and off you go!

MY STUFF?
We will be putting together all of your packets, with your Shirt, Bib Boards, Buff AND MEDAL, with the neck ribbon for your distance, in the mail to you on April 12th. We will send these via UPS/FED-EX (because we are sure you have seen the issues we've had with USPS and the bib mailings?!?) and send you a tracking number, so you can follow its journey to you. 

THANK YOU so very much for being a part of the Virtual RunSBY Events. We hope that you will feel comfortable to join us next year, at an in-person race! Should you have any questions, please feel free to reach out at info@RunSBY.com and we will be happy to help!

Happy running!!!
Jason and the RunSBY Team

Good afternoon. We didn't want to hit you with too many emails this morning, and we hope that everyone got the COVID Symptoms Questionnaire. If you did not, we have it on the top of the menu at www.RunSBY.com

We wanted to let you know about the packet pickups. As you know, unless you had the bib mailing option, or have received an email from us about the bib mailing not reaching you, YOU MUST ATTEND A DRIVE THROUGH PACKET PICKUP. NO RACE DAY PACKET PICKUP 

Packet pickup is LOCATED AT THE MID SHORE FAMILY BRANCH YMCA AT 715 S SCHUMAKER DRIVE, SALISBURY, MD. We ask that you enter from the Church Hill Avenue entrance, and follow the route on the map. We will direct you through, and you can exit back on to S Schumaker when you are done. The YMCA does have classes going on, so please be mindful as you enter and exit the facility. 

 
THURSDAY NIGHT - April 1, 2021
5pm to 7pm at the Mid-Shore Family Branch YMCA 
A perfect time for locals!!!

FRIDAY NIGHT - April 2, 2021
3pm to 8pm at the Mid-Shore Famly Branch YMCA
Come on out and say HI!!!

Packet pickup is a DRIVE THROUGH packet pickup, and will take SECONDS for you to get your gear, if you follow the directions. We want you to write, on a normal size piece of paper (8 1/2 x 11 works great), in LARGE print, the bib numbers you are picking up. You place that in your windshield and drive ahead to grab your packets. 

YES!! You can grab your friends packet. 
YES!! If you are a bib mailing and didn't receive your bib you can come
NO!! We will not exchange shirt sizes at packet pickup. This can be done at the end of the race, and are first come, first serve. 

Please understand that everything we do is to minimize exposure. It is to keep our runners (You), and our Staff and Volunteers (Us) safe. Thank you for your understanding. 

As always, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at info@runsby.com and be sure to finish that COVID Symptoms questionnaire!

Be sure to check out our 2024 sponsor packet below for pricing reference!  We are excited to offer programs that fit within many different budget levels. Get your business shown off in front of thousands of people on race day!!!
