I can’t make it to race package pickup during the scheduled times. Can someone else pick up my race package?

Yes, a family member, friend or associate may pick up your race package. A letter of permission signed by you must be presented to our race package pickup volunteers. This letter (a print-out of an email is also acceptable) should state your information (name, address, event, and the name and address of the person whom you have designated to pick up your race package. The person picking up your package must present this letter to our package pickup volunteers and they may be asked to provide photo ID. We just want to prevent any errors or nasty pranks from occuring.

However, there are many details that may not be fully communicated if you are not there in person. So, if at all possible, please try to pickup your race package in person.

What is a race package and why do I have to pick it up?

A race package is all the vital stuff you will need to participate in the SaskCentral Queen City Marathon. Without the stuff contained in your race package, you cannot take part in the SaskCentral QCM, whether you have already paid your registration fee or not. 

The most important items your race package contains are:

• Race number bib and little safety pins to attach your race number to the front of your shirt or jacket.
  • Race bibs are colour and number coded for different events. 
  • CLICK HERE to learn more about the race number bibs.

• ChampionChip timing chip and a plastic zip-tie fastener to attach the chip to your shoelaces.
  • This timing chip is on loan to you, courtesy of our timing company Race Headquarters. 
    • You must return the timing chip to the race volunteers immediately after you have crossed the finish line. 
    • Chip removal volunteers will be on hand (well, mostly “on feet”, I suppose) to snip off your chip before you leave the finishing area. 
    • There will be an automatic $40 charge for chips not returned on race day.
    • DO NOT FORGET TO WEAR YOUR TIMING CHIP - NO CHIP, NO TIME.
