Packet Pickup FAQ's:

Q: Can someone else pick up my race packet for me at packet pickup?


A: Yes! We are here to make your life easier. Someone else may pickup your packet as long as you provide them with some form of verification to show our staff.

Accepted Items:

-Copy of the bib number email
-Copy of ID
 
Q: If I am 21+ and am planning on drinking on race day, can I get my ID checked and have my wristband placed on me so that I don't have to wait in the ID check line on race day?  Can I also receive a drinking bracelet for a fellow Lager Jogger who could not make it to packet pickup?
 
A. We will be checking IDs and placing drinking wristbands on you at packet pickup on Friday, April 21 only.  We cannot give you a drinking bracelet for other Lager Joggers for whom you may be picking up their packets since our staff will have to physically put it on you.  Those (21+) who come to packet pickup on Thursday or cannot make it to packet pickup on Friday must get their ID checked on race day and have a wristband placed on them on race day at the ID check station.   
 

Q: What vendors will be present at pre-race packet pickup?


A: Yuengling Light Lager Jogger 5k Bondi Bands/Merchandise, Team Red White & Blue, Lehigh Valley Health Network, Run Ride & Hike PA (Friday only), Hops Trot 5k, State Farm Insurance/Quotes for Good Program.  Bring your cash and credit cards!
