How Much to Register During the Blitz?Your registration fee is based on your place in line when you checkout (not when you start your registration). Each race has prices listed based on your place in checkout. For example, if you're one of the first 200 people to register for the 5K, you pay $20; one of the first 200 for the half marathon and it costs you just $40. When registrations reach 201, the price goes up. Look at the charts below for the pricing schedule based on number of registrations. How to Checkout Faster for Best Damn Race BlitzWant to checkout as fast as possible so you get the best deal? 1. Create and log into your RunSignUp.com account BEFORE the registration blitz starts. Make sure you choose "keep me logged in" so you don't have any issues. 2. Have your credit card ready. There's nothing worse than losing your place because your credit card isn't handy. 3 Make sure you have a strong internet connection. Registration is through a third party company. Best Damn Race can't help you with technical difficulties if you lose your wifi or cell signal.
