I placed in my age group or earned an overall finisher trophy, but left the race before I could pick it up. How can I get it?
To pick up your award after the race, you need to come to the Loma Linda University Drayson Center when the Lopers have a regular meeting between 6:30 and 7:30 AM on Sunday mornings. We are sorry, but we cannot mail awards not picked up on race day.
