Photo ID Required
All participants must present a photo ID to pick up their bib. Participants may pick up for friends and family, but must provide a copy of the ID or a photo of the ID on their phone for verification.
Athlete Shirts
All registered athletes will receive a race long sleeve shirt. Shirt size is subject to availability. Participants that arrive to registration early have the best opportunity to secure the size they would like. Choosing a size on our online registration does not guarantee that your size will be available at packet pick-up.
Donate Your Shirt to Charity
You are able to opt-out of receiving your event t-shirt when registering. We will then, in turn, donate the cost of producing that shirt to the Citizens Pell Bridge Run’s non-profit beneficiaries, and announce the donation amount from this initiative following the event.
Registration Policies
The Citizens Pell Bridge Run is a not-for-profit race with 100% of net proceeds going to local non-profits.
Extreme Weather Policy
The bridge is exposed to wind and the elements. Runners should monitor the weather leading up to race day and prepare accordingly.
Our events are held rain or shine. However, there is always the potential for extreme or severe weather conditions. Race organizers will do as much as we can to ensure the experience is as safe as possible. In the event of severe weather, the race may be delayed as race officials consult public safety officers. If there is more than a short delay, if conditions persist, or the forecast calls for extreme weather, race officials reserve the right to alter or cancel the race. We do not schedule “rain dates”. Any decision to cancel an event is done as an absolute last resort and is made collectively with local risk management, police, fire & rescue, and medical personnel as appropriate. In such situations, there will be NO REFUNDS as registrants accept any such risk of their entry fee when signing up.
Please check the website, our Facebook page, and your email before the race for any changes or cancellations.
