Both the half and quarter marathons will be chip timed. The half marathon course is certified and will count as an official time.
Course, rules and awards
The half marathon is a 13.1 mile out-and-back course. All half marathon finishers receive a finisher medal; all quarter and half marathon participants receive a long-sleeve T-shirt. To be guaranteed a T-shirt, registration is recommended at least four weeks before the race. Age-group awards are given for both races in 10-year age divisions.
The event is open to runners and walkers with no age minimum; minors must be registered by a parent or legal guardian. Organizers discourage the use of earbuds. Roads remain open during the race; bicycles, in-line skates and other non-official wheeled vehicles and pets are prohibited. Strollers with infants are allowed if started at the back of the field. The half-marathon course records stand at 1:17:53 (male) and 1:39:25 (female); a $50 prize is offered for breaking a half-marathon course record, otherwise the amount is donated as directed by the runner.
