Mile Markers & Split Times

Each mile marker will have a large display clock that will indicate the running time of the event. These display clocks will show the time from the official start of the race, not your personal “tag time”. A system has been developed to display the mile marker sign, clock and colored warning flag (see flag warning system information later in the email). As you go by each mile, you will see an information station providing you with the status of the race. As you look at this station, you will know where you are on the course, the official race time and race conditions.

Aid Stations

There will be water and sports drink at all stations along the course and at the start/finish. All Aid Stations on the course will have personnel and portable toilets located nearby. 

Restroom Facilities

Portable toilets will be added in locations throughout the course.  The portable toilets will be located near each aid station.

Course Closings

• Partial lane closures will be utilized. Please stay inside the cones and obey all public safety officers and course marshals.
