Shirt update:
Unforeseen circumstances have resulted in a delay in delivery of the Blue Blood Rivalry Run 5K shirts. A United Parcel Service aircraft malfunction in Florida has caused significant delivery delays. The final delivery date/time has not yet been confirmed, but we know that they will not be available for packet pickup today . We apologize for this.
It is possible that the shirts will arrive tomorrow morning, in which case you will be able to pick yours up at the race finish. If they do not arrive in time, we will communicate an alternative shirt pickup next week.
Here's your chance to celebrate, support, and participate in the rivalry like never before. Declare your allegiance, and receive your race shirt in either Duke Blue, Carolina Blue, or Party Crasher white/red.
