NO, these are NOT REAL

I can't believe how epic this location was. Absolutely stunning. I've gotta say, it felt like home from the moment I arrived. You guys always do such a stellar job and this event was no exception!

Thank you so much for finally hosting an event here. It's been on my bucket list for years! Now I can finally say I've run here.

This is literally the last place I would ever choose to run. The location was disappointing, the course was not how they described it (nobody told me there'd be LEGOs all over the ground), and they RAN OUT OF TOILET PAPER!!

What the heck is THIS all about?! Why would I pay you to run in my own house? This doesn't make any sense.

Registration Deadline & Race Day
Registration will be open through race day as supplies last. Most people will run that day BUT you can do it when and where works best for you. Because we strive to honor the tradition of in-person races, you’ll receive messages as if that is race day for you, just know that we’re okay with it if you need to do something different.
Shirts & Bibs
Shirts and bibs are printed specifically for each participant. Shirts and bibs ship regardless of whether your time is reported. All swag ships separately. Once a registration is complete (paid for), it cannot be changed. Registrations are processed according to the timelines below. If the color of the shirt you select is out of stock, the next closest color will automatically be substituted for you. Click here to download your own generic digital bib PDF.

Medals
Medals must be earned by finishing the race. This helps us maintain the spirit of the traditional race experience. We'll begin shipping medals in late May to those participants who:
added a medal to their registration AND reported their finish time (by the reporting deadline)
The reporting deadline is usually 30 days after an event. Considering what's going on in the world, reporting will be open through at least June 15, 2020.
NOTE - because this race was not planned, we are working to get the medals manufactured as quickly as possible. They are tracking to be done at the manufacturer as shown above and we're doing all we can to get them here faster. Essential items are getting priority when being shipped, so that might cause a delay. Thanks for your patience.
IMPORTANT: We have sold out of our first & second batches of medals. More medals have been ordered, but will be sent out according to when you initially registered AND after your finish time is entered.
MEDAL SHIPPING TIMELINES:
REgistered Before April 16 | registered between 4/17 & 4/25 | registered 4/26 or later |
|---|---|---|
End of May Fill Counter | Mid June Fill Counter | Mid July Fill Counter |
For those that registered before 4/16, you are in "Batch 1" and your medal should ship around the end of May but only AFTER you report your finish time | For those that registered between 4/17 & 4/25, you are in "Batch 2" and your medal should ship around mid-June AFTER you report your finish time | For those that registered April 26 or later, you are in "Batch 3" and your medal should ship around mid-July but only AFTER you report your finish time |
HOW SHIPPING WORKS

REPORTING
For tracking your distance and time, you can use whatever app or system that works best for you. All we need is the finish time. We use the honor system to verify results, so if you say you did, we have no reason to not believe you.
To report your finish time, click here and follow the prompts. This video shows what the process looks like.
RESULTS
Results are just for fun - but see how you stack up.
Distance options
5K, 10K, Half: The distance you chose when you register is technically a placeholder for you. You'll be able to select a different distance when you report your finish time. Note: the medal is the same regardless of the distance you choose.

About Wander Project
It's more important than ever to support the communities that inspire us to run, explore and of course, wander.
Wander Project is working closely with community partners and athletes to raise funds to help these communities survive the impacts they're seeing as a result of COVID 19.
We also know this has impacted other communities so we're expanding our reach! We're offering options to raise additional funds that can go to support nonprofit organizations in the areas athletes live... this means the money raised in your community will come back to your community!
This Event is Sponsored By
Note: Unfortunately, we can only ship to the US and its territories. We've had other customers set up virtual post office boxes where a company gives you a US address and then forwards your stuff to you. While we can't vouch for it, others have had success with this in the past: http://myusaddress.ca (for Canadians).
Only one registration can be done with one email address. Do not register simultaneously on two separate windows or devices using the same email address.
