FAQ
FAQ:
Not Certified: These races are NOT certified, and therefore not Boston qualifiers. They are not ideal for people seeking a PR.
Time Limit: We have extended the time limit to 9.5 hours and added 50Ks. Very generous.
Race Start Times: The full marathon starts at 6:00. The half marathon starts at 6:10 am. The 5K and 10K start at 7:00 am.
Parking: There is ample parking in the lot at the race start (look for the Cady Way Swim Club). If needed, there is another lot nearby.
Deferrals: If you registered and find out you can’t make, contact Bettie at bettiemw@gmail.com and ask about a deferral.
Bibs: Bibs may be picked up at the race start on the day of race, starting about 45 minutes prior to race start. If you are running multiple days, you may pick up all your bibs on your first day.
Bad Weather: We will not cancel any race unless there is imminent threat of lightening, or other life-threatening danger.
Water/beverages: We will have plenty of water, Gatorade, Coke, and Mountain Dew. This is a cupless race, though, and you will need a water bottle or hydration device.
Snacks: We will provide light sweet and salty snacks. In hot weather, we will provide pickles, pickle juice, and olives.
Early Starts: Unfortunately, our permit does not allow us to have early starts. But the time limits are very generous.
Late Starts: You will be allowed to start late as long as you have time to complete your event within the allotted race time. Your official time, however, begins at the start of your race distance.
Timing/Finish: We are hand timed. We try very hard to capture your accurate time to the second. You can help us by announcing when you finish (ring the bell). Also, be sure to place your tear-off tab from your bib on the spindle corresponding to your distance. The finish line veers off the course for a few feet to keep you out of the traffic lane when you finish.
