What do I need?
In order to expedite the pick-up of your race bib, please bring your ID and bib# confirmation email. Confirmation emails will be sent the Wednesday of race week.
Can someone else pick up my race packet?
If you are unable to attend the A Snail’s Pace Race Expo, you may send a proxy to pick up your race packet on your behalf. You must have signed the event’s digital liability waivers when registering for the event. To verify if you’ve signed your waivers, please visit your ACTIVE MyEvents account and locate your Surf City Marathon & Half Marathon entry. If you have not signed your waiver yet, you will see a large red error message that your waivers have not yet been signed.
Please send your proxy with a copy of your driver’s license (digital picture is OK) and your bib# confirmation email to expedite the pick-up process. Confirmation emails will be sent the Wednesday of race week. Proxies may only pick up packets for up to 3 people.
