Packet pick up is this Saturday, September 14th from 12-2pm. Come ready to shop! Fleet Feet Fresno will be open and has the best assortment of specialty running gear to make your race day awesome.

Participants must present a photo ID and have your registration confirmation printed or presented on a mobile device. 

Can I have a friend pick up my packet? Yes, If you are having a friend pick up your packet, in an effort to prevent theft, 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 9/13/24. 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.

Can I pick up my packet the morning of the race? If you are from out of town, yes. But because we have a very limited time between when the gates open to when the race begins we are not able to distribute packet pick up to more than a few runners the morning of the race. If you have questions, please e-mail run@thediamond10k.com
