How can I be assured of running in the same wave as my friends?
When you complete your applications, you should all enter the same unique predicted finish time such as 45 min 27 sec. Entering just 45 minutes could split up your group into different waves. You must use the time of the "slowest" runner.

Where do I pick up my number and chip?
Due to the staggered start the numbers are not assigned until three days before the race. We therefore cannot mail the bibs. Number pick up will be Friday evening September 14th between 6:00 pm and 9:00 pm or race day, 6:45 am to 7:45 am at the Laurel Avenue School. There is no race day registration.

Is there a baggage bus?
There will be a baggage UPS truck parked near the starting line before the race. The UPS truck will be waiting near the finish line after the race. The Cow Harbor Race is not responsible for the loss or theft of personal belongings. We will only accept belongings placed in clear plastic bags.

Is there transportation back to the Northport High School parking lot?
There will be buses at the finish line area that will bring you back to the parking lot at Northport High School. These buses will keep running until the awards ceremony has been completed. Buses will run no later than 12 noon.
