📍 COURSE INFORMATION

Certification: The half marathon and full marathon are USTF certified.
Starting Point: The course starts at the East end of the Hawthorne Trail.
Course Type: The course is out and back which means the marathoners run four laps and the half marathoners run two laps.

💧 HYDRATION

Due to the lack of volunteers, we will have to change the setup of the hydration system. Mile 1.4 will have 400 8oz bottles of water only (or more). The turn award for the 13 and 26.2 (3.275 mile) will only have Gatorade bottles. Along the loop at the start and finish, there will be 2 tables placed 50 yards apart with Gatorade in cups. One table will have water in cups.
