1. Participants would have to drop their bike off in Selma the Friday (March 18, 2022) before the event.
3. There will be a $10 fee. You will receive an invoice from Run SignUp for payment.
Please note that Walk Jog Run Club, the Civil Rights Race Series, and the owner of the building cannot take any liability or responsibility for the safety of the bikes or for damages.
Please note that you will still be responsible for getting your bike to the facility on Friday and you will be responsible for getting to Selma the morning of the event.

2020 Participant Discount Information
Each returning 2020 team member will receive $25 off of registration for the 2021 event. We do understand that teams may change, so the discount will apply to each person who registered in 2020 and not the team. For example, if there is an 8 member team that has 5 members that registered in 2020, then the 5 members will receive the discount. There may be a situation where a 2020 participant decides to run with a new team that did not participate in 2020. In that case, the 1 participant would receive the discount. In order to receive the discount, the team captain will need to email mary@wjrclub.com for a coupon code BEFORE registering the team. Please include the information below:
1. Team name
2. Total number of team members
3. The total number of members who qualify for the discount.
