After you have completed the race, pick up your clothes, change in the changing tents, and then hang out and enjoy the rest of your day on Tybee Island. After the awards and post race celebration, think about going to one of the many great restaurants within walking distance from the finish line.

During registration you will receive a clothes bag and an adhesive label. Adhere the label to the bag and write your race number on the label with a permanent marker. Give your bag to the attendant and we will store it while the race is going on. After the race you can pick up your bag. There will be changing stations for Men and Women.
