We can refund your current registration if you are needing to switch to the virtual run. Then you can go back to register for the virtual run.

Below are the in-person pick-up days and times. The packet pick-up tent will be located at the bottom of the northeast staircase of the Mountain America Stadium at ASU. Parking will be available to the west of the tent. 

• April 8th 9 a.m. – 6 p.m.

• April 9th 9 a.m. – 6 p.m.

If you would like to change corrals to run together, all participants would need to gather at the higher number corral.

For Example:

If John and Jane Doe want to run in the same corral, they must register in the same transaction. If John registers on January 10th and Jane registers on a different date, Pat’s Run cannot guarantee that they will be assigned to the same corral.  However, runners can move back to the later corral to run together.  John is assigned to corral 12, Jane is assigned to corral 17, they can both start in corral 17, NOT corral 12
