I actually ended up staying in the store to stay warm as there were others in there waiting for the race to start and keep warm as well. The orchard store was open and you could buy things if you wanted except for alcohol.
#Scrumpy skedaddle registration
I was in and out of registration with my packet within minutes and things were very organized.Īs things got closer to race time, I went back to the start area to check things out. The race had bib numbers out for everyone but they also emailed you your number as well so I didn't need to look it up that morning. I actually waited around in my car for awhile waiting for race time to start.


While I do prefer an earlier start, this race started at 10:30am which was nice given the distance it is from me. I got there race morning around 8:45am with plenty of time to get my packet and put my shirt back in the car. Since both packet pickup were in Novi and Ann Arbor, I opted to just pick up race morning given the far drive to these locations. You had three options to pickup your packet on Thursday, Friday and race morning. Packet pickup for this race was also excellent. I signed up for the entire series at one time with a discount code so total cost was $132.56 - very fair price for all three races including a 5k, half marathon and 10k. Registration was very easy as I signed up online through Running Fit. If you did not run the races this year though, it's worth doing the series. While I enjoyed each of the races, it's probably not a series I'll do again. Given this was a new race, I will give the race management a little slack however there are improvements that need to be done to make this better and I feel that Running Fit events should have known about some of this issues ahead.

This was the last of the three race series for the Thirsty three, the first two being Hightail to Ale and Running Between the Vines. Finished in 50:05(official time) no new PR
