A Note about Gender Identification: We at Quadzilla love the Lehigh Valley’s diverse and ever-growing running community. We are pleased to offer runners a non-binary registration option, and everyone will be able to select the garment style of their choice, regardless of gender identification. However, please note that at this time, there are no award categories for non-binary runners. If you wish to compete for an award, please assign yourself to a male or female category, based on your own self-identification. No challenges to any runner’s self-identification will be heard. Let’s keep the hard part out in the hills. Every runner who signs up to take on this course has our respect and support!

The Goods: A shirt is included with registrations completed on or before July 1. Two quality styles are available: a tech shirt or a tech tank top. This is one of the most coveted shirt designs in the area! Can’t choose between the tee and the tank? You don’t have to! Registrants may purchase additional shirts at the time of registration, on or before July 1.

 

Race Policies: The race will be held rain or shine. To encourage safety, running with headphones is strongly discouraged, and dogs and jogging strollers are not allowed on the course.

Anyone running with someone else’s bib will be disqualified.

CAUTION: This race is not advised for people who are just starting to run or have never run more than 5 miles. Talk to any Quadzilla finisher and they will tell you that these hills are hard and the course is challenging. If you train properly leading into the race, you will do great! You are strongly encouraged to carry water with you on the course and fill up as needed at any of the three aid stations.
