Cutoff Times making you nervous?
New for 2027 CLOSED RACECOURSE 3:00 PM
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 who require the extra time to finish within the course limits, not for faster runners who wish to complete the course earlier. (not eligible for awards) The first few aid stations along the course may not be set up when you arrive, so you must plan accordingly.
The "EB" start is for runners/walkers needing extra time to finish, not for earlier flights or early engagements.
Also, you MUST register for the "Early Bird" wave in advance by emailing your request to shane@wanderlustrunningunlimited.com
