Your registration includes a chip-timed race bib. Race T-shirts are guaranteed only for participants who register before October 10th. Registrations received after October 10th will not include a race T-shirt due to ordering deadlines and limited availability. Race Packet Pickup You may pick up your race packet, including your race T-shirt (if applicable) and chipped race bib, on Friday, November 6th at the DSABV Office. If you are unable to pick up your packet in advance, a Race Day Check-In table will be available before the event where you can collect your race materials. About DSABV Founded in 2002, DSABV is a registered non-profit organization that supports individuals with Down syndrome and other special needs reach their highest level of independence and productivity. Our community-based support allows us to host and sponsor regular social activities, provide educational programs, conferences, workshops, summer camp and community events. Our mission and purpose are for everyone with Down syndrome to have the skills and experiences they need to live the life of their choosing. Why the "Little Extra"? All people with Down syndrome have an extra, critical portion of chromosome 21 present in all or some of their cells. This additional genetic material alters the course of development and causes the characteristics associated with Down syndrome. Although 5Ks are usually 3.1miles, our run will have an extra, optional .11 miles, making our 5K a 3.21 mile run- to celebrate the extra chromosome, hence "with a little extra".  Donations are always appreciated!
