The Marathon, Half Marathon and Team Relay Legs #1 and #2 are international events - you will be crossing international borders.

For the majority of participants (U.S. and Canadian citizens 16 years of age and older), this means a passport, passport card or enhanced drivers license (EDL). U.S. and Canadian citizen children under the age of 16 will be able to present the original or copy of their birth certificate or other proof of U.S. citizenship such as a naturalization or citizenship card.  For additional acceptable documentation, click here. There are no exceptions. Please make certain your travel arrangements include ample time to make it to the expo. NO PACKET PICK UP ON RACE DAY - NO EXCEPTIONS
