USATF Half Marathon Certificate & Map: 

USATF Marathon Certificate & Map: 

Timing:

  • Chip timed Start & Finish
  • Chip timed split every mile
  • Mile splits are displayed on timing clocks as you pass by the mile point helping you keep on pace.

Entertainment

  •  We realize that it might get a little repetitive running a 1 mile loop, so we'll have music & entertainment along the course to keep you going and motivated!

Course Cut Off

  • Because of the nature of the event, the course will close at 10:30 am (4 hour race time).

 

Notes when running:

1. Run the tangents...that means always run the shortest possible route.

2.  If you want to walk or run slower, no problem...we just need you to run on the right so the faster participants can get through on the shortest path.

3.  Remember...it's a one mile loop, with the .1 or .2 going from the lap count to the finish.

Aid Stations

Make sure you have plenty of hydration to keep you going on your run!  We will have water, a gatorade-type drink & bananas.

2 stations along the course (every 1/2 mile)

  • 1 station with cups of water along with bananas.
  • 1 station with your (Bring Your Own) personal aid (drinks & gel)  Please make sure you drop your personal aid off in enough time before the Race Start!  We'll have volunteers to hand off your items.  Aid Station tables will be set up according to bib numbers.
