Early start option:
We are proud to announce a "early start” option for the half marathon runners that need a little more time to finish and still be part of all the fun at the post race party. “Early Start” is at 6 am on race day; BUT you have to let us know ahead of time so that we can capture your bib number for the official timing stats. We will NOT have all of our water stations setup until about 7:30 am so you are on your own for water for the first 30 minutes. You must know the course if you want to use the early option
Weekend warriors / Beginners / walkers:
Yes, very walker friendly course, mostly flat, plenty of aid stations, and loads of fun! Generous 7:00 hour time limit for the marathon so take your time and enjoy the scenery, all levels of fitness are welcome at our events.
Middle of the pack runners:
Everyone will be asking…. What did you do on your holiday vacation time? Now you can show off your finisher medal and race day t-shirt. This is the race for you and everyone you know.
Elite and Advanced runners:
This mostly flat two loop course is a great way to test your winter time speed! A perfect way to give yourself a holiday gift (a new PR) that you can cheer about all the way to new years.
All Runners will receive:
Finisher medal
Premium sublimated tech shirt
Premium sublimated wind breaker Jacket
Reusable tote bag
Post race munchies
Awards:
Top 3 overall M/F in each race - Special Award

No disposable cups at this event
Why are there no disposable cups at the water stations you may ask?
Safety of runners and volunteers:
We want to ensure the safety of all runners and volunteers by removing the urge to chase after a wayward cup into traffic.
Environmentally Sound Practice:
In an average year we would have used over 60,000 cups that cannot be recycled. And littering is just not cool.
Healthier:
Our foot pedal unit allows runners to dispense their own water hands free at 10oz per second and away you go.
We have a great option if you forgot your own cup:
You can buy a reusable cup for $2 at packet pickup or race day check-in.
