Time to start thinking about registration iff you want to get the SWAG and/or support the event. Last year the SWAG included a t-shirt, a huge medal (participation award), and some engraved dog tags that just say Bataan Memorial March or something like that. You also get your results posted on the site like this

The virtual event runs from 20240316 to 20240323. According to the website, you need to register before 20240223 to get the package before the race, but they'll keep mailing them out until they run out. It's $60 which is more than I remember from last year.
Registration is a bit of a challenge. I had no end of trouble dealing with tech support. The thing is that you need to register for the VIRTUAL RACE (which has no divisions, so don't worry about that). And it is my understanding that this works best if done via the itsyourrace app on your phone, so don't register from the website and expect it to show up on your phone like I did (this was my problem, twice). Thus download the itsyourrace app and find bataan in there and register for the virtual race on your phone.
I figure the time is 3/16 at 8am (should finish around 3pm) and the place is either Fullersburg or Elk Grove. Alternatively, we can just walk a grid of blocks in my neighborhood. There's an area with [very likely clear] sidewalks, almost no traffic, where you can see all the way to the end of a 1 mile stretch for each link, up one street, down the next and so on. This makes it mentally easy (at least for me) to knock off the miles.
Please lmk before next friday who is in officially and who is tagging along.
