The ½ marathon depending on the participant, will take racers anywhere from 1.5 hours to 3 hours. All courses are open to athletes of all athletic abilities. Participation is the key.

3. May I walk the course?

Yes, we do allow participants to walk the course. As a walker, please pay attention to fellow competitors coming up behind you. Please do not walk abreast and keep to the far right or left to let runner's pass. This will ensure that both walkers and runners can obtain their desired finish times. The Finish Area will be kept open until the last participant crosses the finish line. Please make race directors and timing crew aware of your intentions to walk the course on race day.
