Race Instructions

This page contains a lot of very important information regarding packet pick-up, race day, the course map, and virtual events.

All participants must pick up their packet on Saturday September 24th between 11am-3pm at Fleet Feet Fresno. Participants must present a photo ID and have your registration confirmation printed or presented on a mobile device.

Come ready to shop and hang out! We will have a fresh display of official race merchandise from Endure Jewelry. The authors of the book, Walk Run Soar, Shawn and Dorina will be there to inspire, chat, and autograph books. Fleet Feet Fresno will be open and has the best assortment of specialty running gear to make your race day awesome.

If you are having a friend pick up your packet, you must e-mail us at run@thediamond10k.com with the name of the person picking up your bib no later than 11:59pm on Friday 9/23/22. The person must show a photo ID when picking up and your e-mail address must match the e-mail address on your race registration.

Gates will open at 7:25am and runners and spectators must arrive no later than 7:55am in order to park their vehicles on the premises.
