Parking

Vegas

There will be participant, volunteer, and spectator parking at the finish line venue located at the West Career & Technical Academy and across the street behind the Albertsons. Parking is limited so we strongly encourage carpooling and/or participant drop off and pick up in this lot. Half Marathon Runners will park at the West Career & Technical Academy and load shuttles

Goldilocks runners can expect to see an aid station with portable restrooms approximately every two miles along the running course. All running aid stations are stocked with water and Gatorade. Most aid stations also have a yummy selection of fruit, candy, or gels.

5:30 AM to Blue Diamond Park. Please RSVP if you plan on being dropped off at the start. Half Marathon runners can be dropped off by a private vehicle at the half marathon start line between 5:00 and 6:00 AM. Private vehicles must clear the drop off zone right away. There are no private vehicles allowed to park at the start line of the half marathon. Vehicles will be asked to return to the finish line venue parking lot via Desert Foothills.

Can I leave earlier than my start time?

If you leave prior to your start time, we cannot guarantee all rest stops on your route will be open by the time you arrive.

Photos

Goldilocks thinks that event photos should be FREE! She hires the best photographers to be at the finish line and multiple locations along the course. Be sure to smile big and strike a pose for the cameras. Also make sure your bib is visible so we know who is in each photo! Photos will be made available a week or so after the event along with event results.

SAG Services for Goldilocks Participants

Part of our fully supported ride means if you have a problem on the course, or can’t continue, we’ll provide support to help you solve it or bring you to the finish line. We’ll have Papa Bears on bikes to assist with minor problems. We’ll have marked roving vehicles with basic equipment to fix a more serious problem or transport if necessary. Bike Mechanics will also be stationed at most ride rest stops.

Ditch Bags

You never know if it will be too hot or too cold the morning of the event. Follow the example of Goldilocks and make sure you’re dressed “just right” by taking advantage of your ditch bag. Dress warm, and if necessary you can shed your warm clothes and leave them in your ditch bag at the start line, or at any of the rest stops. We’ll make sure they are there for you when you finish.

What if I need to quit while I’m on the course? Please text or call (you may need to leave a message, that will quickly be returned) 801923-4417, our Papa Bear dispatch. They will be happy to come and rescue you!

What food will be served at the rest stop/aid stations? Runners will be provided with water, Gatorade, energy chews, bananas, oranges, love and encouragment. Cyclists will have a variety of items including water, Gatorade, skittles, m&m’s, Wheat Thins, hard candy, Fig Newtons, oreos, licorice, pickles and a pb&j buffet. Water, Gatorade, love and encouragement also provided.

Tracking and Results

Although Goldilocks is a non-competitive event, bib numbers have timing chips inside. Every participant will have their time started as they cross the start line. Get your commemorative result card printed at the finish line. Results are also posted online within 24 hours.

Bathrooms

The start line, finish line, and all the rest stops have plenty of glamorous, clean portable restrooms. Don’t worry, we’ve got your covered!

Finish Line Festivities/Spectators

No one wants to finish a race with no fanfare. Goldilocks knows how to throw a party and her event wouldn’t be the same without family and friends to cheer on participants as they cross the finish line. Be sure to invite your supporters to the finish line. There will be something for everyone! Cowbells will be available for spectators to ring at no charge. Goldilocks herself will be hanging around with the three bears for great photo ops, and the Goldilocks store will offer an irresistible selection of event merchandise.

What time does the finish line close? Finish line, rest stops, & support will wrap-up at 5 pm.

The Cause

Goldilocks knows her participants like to ride and run for a cause! A portion of your registration fee goes to local a charity that provides real-hair wigs to women in cancer treatments. Hair donations are also collected at each event. Donations are used to make real-hair wigs for women and children who otherwise could not afford them.

Can I exchange my shirt for a different size? Yes. If your shirt does not fit, or we gave you the wrong size, please bring it to the event. We will be happy to exchange it there for one that is ‘just right’.
