Course Information
Course
1 mile FLAT & FAST loop
Both the Half & Full are USATF certified...so the Full will be a Boston Qualifier
https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/1692753803 (the map shows 1.2, the extra .2 is to the Finish, not part of the 1-mile loop.
Timing:
Chip timed Start & Finish
Chip timed split every mile
Mile splits are displayed on timing clocks as you pass by the mile point...helping you keep on pace.
Entertainment
We realize that it might get a little repetitive running a 1 mile loop...so we'll have music & entertainment along the course to keep you going and motivated!
Course Cut Off
Because of the nature of the event, the course will close at 10:30 am (4 hour race time).
Notes when running:
1. Run the tangents...that means always run the shortest possible route.
2. If you want to walk or run slower, no problem...we just need you to run on the right so the faster participants can get through on the shortest path.
3. Remember...it's a one mile loop, with the .1 or .2 going from the lap count to the finish.
