Registration and Race Policies
*Registration deferrals are not offered this year. In lieu of deferrals this year, we are able to offer refunds for 2025 registrations only. You can also transfer your registration to another person or transfer yourself to another event. For our refund policy, click here.
*Bib number swapping can cause medical problems on race day and any runner found swapping their bib number without having properly transferred their registration will not be allowed to run in this event and will be banned from all future races.
*Please be aware that there is a 6 hour cut off for the marathon. As a guideline, if you have not passed the 1/2 timing mat by 10:15 AM (2 hours and 45 minutes after the start), chances are you will not finish in 6 hours. Therefore, any runner approaching the finish line area to start their second loop after 10:15AM will be directed across the finish line and given a half marathon finishing time.
*Please note race kits MUST be picked up Friday or Saturday before the race. NO race kit pick up will be available Sunday, May 11th. You may have another person to pick your race kit up for you.
