Important Information

WARNING: Before you register, read everything below. Here are the main points:

• Not chip-timed: We are hand timed. Let us know when you finish.
• Course Certification: Courses are not certified. Not designed for speed. NOT a Boston qualifier.
• Awards: No age group awards, no t-shirts.
• Cup-less: Bring your own bottle.

What You Don’t Get

You will not receive: t-shirt, hat, socks, or any other apparel, great bling, cute reusable race bag, age group awards, spectators lining the course, crowds cheering you in, hearty food at the finish, exciting music, and a party afterward, all on a certified course. There are plenty of other events out there for you.

What You Do Get

You will receive: low entry fees, courses that are guaranteed not short, a simple finisher’s medal, a generous time limit, and a published finish time. But isn’t that all you really need?

Course Details

The courses are NOT certified—no Boston qualifier here. The courses are lap courses, meaning that you will do an out-and-back multiple times, which means you will see other runners going and coming. Not as boring as it might sound. In fact, many people come to prefer this course design.

• Course Layout: All the courses will be on primarily paved, urban run/bike trails that are fairly flat with some to a lot of shade.
• Public Access: These are open courses and will be open to the public. This means there may be other runners, walkers and cyclists.
• Distance Laps: The marathon and half marathon laps will be approximately 1.9 to 2.2 miles. The full is expected to be 12 to 14 laps, and the half is expected to be 6 to 7 laps.
• Tracking: Turn around for each distance will be clearly marked. Rubber bands will be available to help you keep track of your laps.
