FAQ
FAQ:
Race Start Times: The full marathon and 50K start at 6:00 am. The half marathon starts at 6:10 am. The 5K and 10K start at 7:00 am.
Bib Pickup: Race bibs will be available at the race location starting about 45 minutes prior to race start. If you are running multiple days, you will use the same bib for all the days.
Races Not Certified: These races are NOT certified, and therefore not Boston qualifiers.
Time Limit: All distances now have a 9.5-hour time limit. This is a little "squishy," and as long as you're doing your best, we will allow you to finish, including medal and posted finish time.
Timing/Finish: We are hand timed. We try very hard to capture your time accurately. Be sure to let us know you are finished by ringing the bell. Also, announce it to the race timer. Be sure you hear your time repeated back to you. The finish line turns off the course for a few feet to keep you out of the traffic lane when you finish.
Water/beverages: We will have plenty of water, Gatorade, Coke, and Mountain Dew. This is a cupless race, though, so 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.
Strollers and/or dogs are allowed, keeping in mind that the course is narrow in a few places, and you might have to yield to others. No bicycle pacing.
Parking: There is plenty of convenient parking at the race location. You’ll probably be able to pass right by your car every lap (~2.2 miles). We'll have signs to indicate the location. Look for the Cady Way Swim Club (near Showalter Field).
Early Start: No. We already have early start times for the longer distances, and our permit does not allow early starts.
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.
Deferrals: If you registered and find out you can’t make, contact Bettie at bettiemw@gmail.com and ask about a deferral.
Bad Weather: We will not cancel any race unless there is imminent threat of lightening, or other life-threatening danger.
If you have any other questions, please email Bettie at bettiemw@gmail.com.
