CUTOFF TIMES & COURSE SAFETY 

There is a 4:00 time limit for the Half Marathon course, which is ~18:30 min/mile pace. Course support/aid stations will also be shut down as cutoff times reach each distance. If you do not make the cutoffs you may choose to continue as a pedestrian and you must follow the rules of the road (i.e. stay on the shoulder, wait for traffic to cross intersections, etc.) as traffic control and aid stations will no longer be active.

--> Wear your bib on the front of your person in a visible spot. 

Safety Is Our Priority! 

The roads are NOT closed to traffic during the race; you must stay inside of the coned course. Runners outside of coned course are subject to disqualification. Please be alert and aware of traffic. Headphones/earbuds are discouraged.

POST-RACE PARTY

All participants are invited to the post-race celebration with food and beverage! 

Post-Race Breakfast! - Breakfast Burritos!
