📏 Course Details

• Course Information: We have updated both courses on MapMyRun which you can download. They are not USATF certified courses, so they are not EXACT as far as the half and full marathon distance goes.
• Instructions: We also have new very detailed turn by turn instructions below. It is recommended that you carry them on your run.
• Qualifying for a Medal: If you want to qualify for a medal and be placed (yes we will have our wonderful metal keys again), you will need to email jchillersgroup@gmail.com your results from Strava, Garmin, or another similar service with a map so we know that you ran the official course.
• Timing Policy: Marathoners that will take longer than 6 hours may start at 7am.

🕒 Results Submission

• Email Requirement: If you do not email us a link to your results and map, you can take a photo of your watch, or screenshot of your phone, and we will record your finish time, but we will not place you or award a medal.
• Watch Guidelines: You must NOT stop your watch if you are caught at a light. Our course records are legit for these courses, including stops.
• Waiver: You must sign our waiver which includes COVID information.
• Traffic Signs: You must pay attention to all traffic signs. For those who have done our course before, you know how tricky our course is, be careful!
