We took a record number of registrations on the last few days of our official registration period! All of us at P3R would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the thousands of you who registered and showcased the strength and spirit of our incredible running community.

We've also reached another milestone: the 26.2-mile distance has reached its capacity and is officially SOLD OUT (but there are still limited spots available for the 13.1!). We understand the disappointment of missing out, which is why we've established a waitlist for the 26.2-mile race — if a spot becomes available, waitlisted runners will be offered the chance to register on a first come, first served basis. Click here to add yourself to the list.

We've worked tirelessly with our amazing vendors to open up limited additional spaces in all our other events. Whether you're looking to conquer the half marathon, take on the relay with friends, tackle the first-ever 4-mile fitness challenge, or cross the finish line at the inaugural champions mile, there's still a chance for you to join the excitement.

These additional spaces are limited, so act fast to ensure you don't miss out on being part of something truly special.
