PACKET PICKUP AND PRE-RACE INFO
Q: Do you
have packet pick-up information for Boston?
A: Boston packet pick up is at
the Back Bay Hilton – 40 Dalton St,
Boston, MA 02115 – on Tuesday, September 4, Wednesday, September 5, and
Thursday, September 6, from 3-7 PM. Packet pick up will be in the Adams Rooms A
+ B. Parking in the Hilton parking garage is $10 if you have your ticket
validated at the front desk.
Q: Can I still
add the option to have my bib and t-shirt mailed?
A:
The deadline to add shipping for Boston was Sunday, August 12. It is too
late to add shipping at this point. Packet pick up is at the Back Bay Hilton in
Boston on Tuesday, September 4; Wednesday, September 5; and Thursday, September
6 from 3-7PM
Q: What if I
can’t make it to packet pick-up?
A: We highly recommend attending
packet pick up at the Back Bay Hilton. As a very last resort, bring your ID to
the registration tent on Saturday morning and pick up your bib there. If you’re picking up the morning of, we
recommend arriving 90 minutes before your start wave to give yourself ample
time to park, get your packet, get your timing chip, and get lined up for your
start wave without being stressed and rushed. We do not recommend
this option (lines may be long, and we don’t want you to have to wait!).
Q: Can I pick up a friend's packet, or can a friend attend packet pick-up for me?
A: Yes! If you are picking up a packet for someone, have them text to you: a
picture of their ID and permission for you to pick up their packet. If you are
a minor, your parent or guardian can pick up your packet for you.
Q: I
see on Facebook that a lot of ladies have received their registration packet. I
registered for shipping but haven’t gotten mine yet. Where is it?
A: The
post office still has it! Packets were mailed out over a period of several
days. Keep an eye on your mailbox. Your packet will arrive soon! If you have
moved recently and your mail is being forwarded, the packets were sent out
early enough to account for mail forwarding. You should still receive your
packet before the Diva Dash on September 8.
Q: I
received my packet in the mail, and it only had a T-shirt and bib number. Am I
missing anything?
A:
That’s everything! You will pick up your timing chip the morning of the race
and you’ll receive your Diva Dash bag and goodies as you cross the finish line!
RACE DAY
Q:
Where can I park at the Marshfield Fairgrounds?
A:
There is parking at the Fairgrounds. There will be overflow parking across the
street at the school and the Grace Ryder Home. All parking is $10 and is CASH
ONLY. Load up your car and carpool to Marshfield to save money and save the
planet!
Q:
When do I get my timing chip?
A: You
can pick up your timing chip the morning of the Diva Dash at the Marshfield
Fairgrounds. Timing chips must be returned at the end of the race. We will be
collecting them at the finish line. There is a $30 fee charged to participants
who forget to return their chips.
Q: Can
my family and friends come to watch?
A:
Absolutely! Spectators, friends, families, and cheering sections are all
welcome! The more the merrier. There is NO CHARGE for spectators joining us at
the Marshfield Fairgrounds.
Q: Is there a BAG CHECK for
athletes?
A: Yes. Athletes can check one bag (which will be provided by the SHAPE
DIVA DASH). To minimize crowds and chaos, please drop off your bag one
hour before the start of your wave - not earlier. You must show your bib
number to claim your bag. The Shape Diva Dash is not liable for any lost,
damaged or stolen items. We STRONGLY recommend that you do not place any
valuable items (ie: phones, cameras, car keys, drivers license) in your
bag. We also recommend that you do not overstuff your bag, place heavy
items in the bags or store any breakables in the bag. Unclaimed
Bags will be returned to The Shape Diva Dash Event Producers (Adventure
Fit Inc). You will have five days to claim your bag or contact us about
shipping your bag. There is a $10 shipping charge for returning unclaimed
bags. After 5 days, all unclaimed bags will be donated to charity.
Q:
What else do I need to bring?
A:
Bring cash and your ID. All participants over the age of 21 will receive a free
Coors Light, and other food and beverages will be available for purchase.
Q:
What is the course like?
A: The
course is a mix of everything from paved paths to rugged singletrack trail!
You’ll encounter 11 obstacles over the course of 5k.
Q:
What should I wear for the SHAPE Diva Dash?
A:
Wear comfortable clothing with nothing that could get snagged on ropes, logs,
or trees. Pin your race number on the front of your shirt so it can be clearly visible to race officials at all times. Your shoes will likely get wet and dirty – so don’t wear your new
white kicks for this one!
Q: What happens if it rains?
A: The SHAPE Diva Dash is a rain or shine event! We will do everything we can to produce a safe event, regardless of weather. In the case of an act of God/terrorism/disaster, please refer to our Disaster Policy.
