RegShield must be purchased at time of registration.

*At this time RegShield Event Insurance is not available to athletes for this race if registering via a multi-race bundle such as the BRIN Running Series. RegSield Event Insurance is currently only available to athletes that register for individual Races outside of a multi-race bundle.
