This neighborhood is beautiful with homes, lakes, and smooth curves that make it engaging the whole way. The course is open and we are certifying it 90% on one side of the road making. There are low traffic levels and the Home Owners are gracious. We will include a Gatorade at water station 2 which runners will hit 4 times during the marathon and 2x during the half. Marathoners are also welcome to leave a special water bottle at the halfway point to grab during their run. USATF Certified course. Racejoy Tracking will be available.
