SOLD OUT 😮

The 2026 Shake Up Shuffle is officially SOLD OUT.

We are once again overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from our community.

Following a 1,000 participant sell out in 2025, we capped our 2026 event at 1,250 participants.

As we continue to intentionally scale the growth of the Shake Up Shuffle, our focus remains on creating the best possible race day experience for our participants.

We will continue to evaluate additional growth opportunities moving forward, but for now, simply want to take a moment to say thank you.

We cannot wait to see you all at the Third Annual Sandwich Fair Shake Up Shuffle this Labor Day.

Edit: To help protect our local community from registration scams, comments have been disabled. We’re happy to help facilitate legitimate registration transfers, but please email us directly before exchanging payment or registration information. We’ll officially process the transfer in our system so the registration information is properly updated and help protect both parties from potential scams. ❤️

Let’s Talk Race Bibs 🧷

Your race bib is more than just a number.

Wearing your race bib:

🏃🏽Tracks Your Time (Hello, Extra Awards 🥇)
🏃🏻‍♂️Acts as Your Finishers Medal Token
🏃🏾‍♀️Acts as Your Lemonade Shake Up Token

Most importantly:
👉🏼 Your bib MUST be visible and attached to your outermost layer of clothing.

That means:
✅ Front of Shirt or Jacket
✅ Clearly Visible at the Start and Finish Line
❌ Not Under Sweatshirts
❌ Not Tucked into Pockets

Each bib contains an individual timing chip, so your official race time begins when YOU cross the start line timing mats - not when the first runner starts.

You’ll receive your bib and safety pins at Packet Pickup.

Coming to Pre Race Packet Pickup?

Don’t forget to bring it back on race day 😅
