We are getting excited as we get closer to our 7th Annual Run The Ritter on Saturday, November 15.  All registrants will receive a pre-race information e-mail with race details by Monday, November 10 regarding parking, timeline schedule and other pertinent race day details.

This note is to let you know about our one day early packet pick-up scheduled on Saturday, November 8, one week before the race.  Details and location are as follows:

Date:  Saturday, November 8

Time:  10am – 5pm

At:       Ritter Farm Park – Environmental Learning Center (site of the race)

            Address:  19300 Ritter Parkway Trail; Lakeville, MN  55044

What:   Ritter bib number, pins, race shirt and any pre-ordered merchandise

You may pick up another person’s packet with proof of permission by e-mail or text to do so and show this at pickup.

This is the first year we are hosting this both at the race site location and inside the Environmental Learning Center.  As you drive into the park you will see the building on the upper road though even if you park on the lower side near the silo you can easily walk to the building a very short distance. 

Here are the top reasons why you should pick up your packet on Nov. 8:

-Guaranteed shirt in the size you requested; 

-A chance to see the race venue so no guesses on race day;

-A chance to run part of or all of the course as a preview before the race;  

-Discount coupons given during packet pickup;

-No waiting in line on race morning;  (well except for the porta-potties as that never seems to change)

Please strongly consider adding this to your Saturday schedule to help prevent the long lines on race morning.  We appreciate this but do understand if you have a long out of the metro area drive.

Thank you for making Run The Ritter a part of your schedule.  We are thrilled by your choice to participate and look forward to seeing you.
