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 may pick up all your bibs on your first day.
Races Not Certified: These races are NOT certified, and therefore not Boston qualifiers. They are not ideal for people seeking a PR.
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 your to finish, including medal and posted finish time.
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.
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.
Strollers/dogs are not allowed. No bicycle pacing.
Parking: There is plenty of parking at the race location. We'll have signs out and you may look for the Cady Way Swim Club.
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.
