Frequently Asked Questions
What should I bring on race day?
Yourself, a very positive attitude, and your race packet (which you picked up at The Green Bean). If you have not yet picked up your race packet, you can get it at the race site, Center City Park (corner of Friendly Ave. and Davie St. in downtown Greensboro).
What should I wear?
Your Biscuitville Bowl t-shirt, old clothes and old shoes. YOU WILL GET MESSY. Keep in mind that flour, corn starch, cooking oil and tea (it stains) will be on your clothes and body at the end of the race. This is a biscuit themed obstacle course – dress for mess not for fashion. For your convenience a cleanup station with a hose will be provided.
