Race Gift
Registrants can select from several options …
• A custom race Tee in your size choice as available in the registration form.
• A $10 Racers Retail Bucks card.
• A $5 Donation to the designated non-profit beneficiary of the race – the Alexandria Boys & Girls Club. (EIN - number 53-0236759)
Tees and Retail Bucks will be provided through the regular packet pickup process.
If needed, Tee size exchange will be available post-race, onsite, on race day only.
Retail Bucks cards can be used as follows:
• A $10 Pacers Retail Bucks card is good towards any item in store except for gift cards. Yes, Any item! We regret it is not valid on special orders.
• There is no cash value to Pacers Retail Bucks so you must spend at least $10 (pre-tax) to use the full value.
• Not valid on race registrations.
• 2024 PNC Parkway Classic Retail Bucks are valid through September 30th, 2024. Pacers Retail Bucks are limited to only one per participant and cannot be combined with other Retail Bucks or discount codes. Only one race-specific buck per customer.
• Pacers Retail Bucks are valid on all products in store or online except for Pacers gift cards.
• Cards are distributed to our awesome race participants who opt for a $10 Pacers Retail Bucks card instead of a another race gift option.
Donations can – depending on your personal circumstances – be considered as US non-taxable donations. Your race entry confirmation document is your receipt. We can provide the non-profit tax ID number upon request.
