Is there a place to store my stuff while I run the race?

Yes, there will be a Gear Check station by the start line on race morning. 

Participants who are checking gear bags must use the clear plastic gear bag provided at the expo, please write your bib number on your bag legibly and tie it closed before dropping it off with gear check staff.
