Masks Social Distance Hygiene
START TIMES
We will be using a continuous rolling start with each participant starting 12 seconds apart not to exceed 300 participants in one hour. The maximum number of participants allowed in the start/finish controlled access area at any one time is 80. No more than 50 will be allowed in the actual start/finish chute. There will be a minimum of 6 feet spacing in all areas. Choose your estimated pace and start anytime within that time range.
Marathon - Saturday
8:00am – 8:30am
Half Marathon - Saturday and Sunday
9:00am – 9:15am pace 9:44/mile and under
9:16am – 9:30am pace 9:45/mile to 10:59/mile
9:31am – 9:45am pace 11:00/mile to 12:59/mile
9:46am – 10:00am pace 13:00/mile and up
You will be chip timed from when you cross the start line until you return across the finish line. It is important that you estimate your pace accurately when selecting your start group to maintain optimal spacing on the course. If you have never completed a trail run before a good rule of thumb is to add 1 minute per mile to your road pace.
START AND FINISH AREA ACCESS
Participants are required to wear their race number on the front of their body to enter the area. Do not enter the area until 5-10 minutes before your designated start time range. No one will be allowed entry without a mask covering their nose and mouth. We will have you wait in a socially distanced line outside the area if there are already 80 people inside. There is no gear check. Spectators see instructions below!
