**HALF MARATHONERS PLEASE NOTE**

There will be a course change this year (2025), for the 1/2 marathon. The Showdown @ Angler’s Ridge, a premier USA Cycling and UCI-sanctioned mountain bike race, will take place at Anglers Park the same weekend as Bridge2Bridge, April 11-13, 2025. As a result, we are unable to utilize this space for our runners. We have worked hard to come up with a new route which will showcase a large portion of our beloved RiverWalk Trail System. This may come as good news to those of you who prefer a flat and fast course! For those of you who loved last years' hilly course, start your training early, as it will make its' return on April 11, 2026! We received a lot of positive feedback on our inaugural course and look forward to its' return!

We appreciate your continued support of B2B and our mission to support the efforts of the Danville-Pittsylvania Cancer Association. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

We are pleased to provide an opportunity for "Assisted Participants" to enjoy race day alongside all of the other B2B participants. An "Assisted Athlete" is one who cannot participate in an event by themselves and needs the help of another known as a "Pusher". Physical challenges may present as any of the following; lack of balance, strength, and flexibility, mental challenges such as anxiety or depression, and sensory issues such as poor hearing or vision.

The "Assisted Athlete" will use a device such as a racing chair that is designed for race competition, ie..hand brake, tether, appropriate wheels/tires.  *Children in strollers are not considered "Assisted Athletes".

"Assisted Athletes" and their "Pusher" will both receive bib numbers, packets and t-shirts, if registered by the t-shirt deadline. Both the "Assisted Athlete" and the "Pusher" will be placed together into an "Assisted Athlete" category. "Assisted Athletes" and their "Pushers" will not be eligible for Overall Awards, Age Group Awards or Team Awards. The "AA"  as well as the pusher will receive a Finisher Medal.

Assisted Participants may participate in the 5K Run, 5K Walk, 10K Run as well as the Half Marathon. Please note that a finish time of 2:45 is suggested for Half Marathoners.
For the safety of themselves and others, the "Assisted" participants will start their event 5 minutes prior to the start time of the "non-assisted" participants.

**Please note that the first 1/10th of a mile on all courses is a cobblestone surface and is not compatible for use with a "standard" wheelchair.

5K Untimed Charity Walk:

In response to those who answered our survey following B2B 2024, we will no longer be timing the walk or providing awards for this event. The majority of those who responded stated that receiving an award was not a priority to them and that they would rather see the funds directed to the Danville Cancer Association. We are appreciative of our walkers who come out to support a friend, a family member, or are recovering from a cancer diagnosis themselves. You are an integral part of the success of this event and we thank you for your continued support. We will be providing an honorary certificate to all of the teams who are walking in 2025.

If you would like to time your walk, please download the FREE  Strava App onto your phone and use this to track your walk time. This app will allow you to record all of your physical activities and serves as a great motivator to monitor your daily, monthly and yearly activities.

See you on race day!

- A single trophy will be awarded to the individual team/business with the greatest number of members registered by race day.
