About the Big Game Run
The course starts and finishes at the stadium on Mint Street, heading out along the Wesley Heights and Irwin Creek greenways before returning through city streets. The whole event leans into football: costumes, throwback jerseys, and face paint are actively encouraged, and most people show up dressed for their team.
Packet pickup happens the day before the race outside the stadium, and race-morning pickup is available as a backup before the start. The finish area has vendors and sponsor giveaways on site.
