Time Limits

Because the roads used for the race must be re-opened for normal traffic patterns and the track for race cars, we are required to set course time limits that must be strictly adhered to. 
  • The course time limit for the full and half marathon is 8 hours which is giving ample time for everyone to be a finisher.
  • The first 4.4 miles on the track must be finished at 7:50am which gives you 1:20h from the start of the race.
Based on the USATF certification standards the course is measured on tangents or SPR-Shortest Possible Route. Therefore if you run on the inside or outside line the entire length of the race your GPS may reflect a distance slightly greater than 13.1 or 26.2.

PACERS
Pacers will be running both the full marathon and half marathon to lead everyone to a fast time.

The full marathon will include the following pacers:
  • 3:29

The half marathon will include the following pacers:
  •  1:44
