Two participants didn't get their bibs as registration had already closed and I gave them day of registration bibs...if this is you, please email me at skagitrunnersrd@gmail.com so I can get you the fancy 2026 Tulip Run bibs:). We found the remaining bibs when we packed up and put everything in storage after the race!
