The first 1000 to collect a race packet will receive a commemorative race pullover/jacket, shirt, hat, and bib in their race packet. Sizes are offered first-come-first-served based upon packet pick up arrival in line. If your requested size is no longer available, we’ll offer your second size choice, and then the next closest available size. Gear style may change based upon availability. After all race packets with gear are no longer available, no only vintage gear will be offered. All participants will receive a chipped race bib and a Finisher medal upon race completion.

Sorry, no refunds will be issued related to gear sizes. We really want you to have gear in your perfect size so that you can enjoy wearing it for years to come! We encourage you to attend packet pick up early to enjoy greatest selection of available sizes when our team fulfills your race packet order. Sizes are offered first come first served. Please also be sure to use the size chart to help you request the best fit. Race of Hope gear is swoon worthy and events sell out quickly. As with many national races, our gear sizes are not guaranteed & offered on a first come first served basis.

Sorry, no refunds will be issued. 100% of all proceeds go directly to depression research. The only exception will be if our system erroneously oversells the maximum available race registrations after they event has sold out.
