Cutoff Times making you nervous?
Join the "Early Bird" start wave and begin your race at 7 a.m., giving you an extra hour on the course. The caveat: the "Early Bird" wave is only for runners that will need the extra time to finish within the course limits, not for faster runners who want to be done earlier. (not eligible for awards) The first few aid stations along the course may not be set up when you arrive so you will need to plan accordingly.
Also, you MUST register for the "Early Bird" wave in advance by emailing
