The half marathon is just the first loop around the lake. It does include the small loop and does not include the short out and back at the southern end of the park. The course time limit is 6.5 hours for the Marathon (14:52 min/mile) and 5.5 hours for the Half Marathon (25:11 min/mile). The marathon course is USATF certified and therefore an eligible Boston Qualifying Course.
