I know that there is not an actual "expo", but will there be a venue of some sort to buy race-related merchandise? Specifically, I would love to get some sort of "I did it!" shirts.
While I am super-excited to be doing this race, I feel a little "left out" because we will not be dressing up in any sort of costumes

. I love looking at everyone else's creations and I am so jealous of their creativity. My family is just not that into dressing up...even Halloween is boring at our house

. The only other RD event I did was the W&D and that was about 50/50 in regards to those in costume and those in plain running clothes. Since this is a totally different kind of race, I am worried that there will be a lot more people IN costumes than in regular running apparel. We are all wearing our standard running garb, bought from Target

...probably on sale...and with a coupon

so I guess we will stand out in our own special way

.
Only 4 more days and we will be checking in to AKV to tackle our first race as a family.....WE ARE YETI!!
