If we are forced to switch to a virtual event in 2021, all participants will have the choice to run virtually or defer their entry to 2022. All virtual runners will receive their medal and race shirt in the mail.

The course will remain open for 3 hours and 16 minutes, closing on a continuous pace of 14:57 minutes per mile. If you are unable to maintain this pace, please e-mail us immediately at [email protected] to work out a solution for you. You may be asked to move off the course and continue as a pedestrian as the course must reopens to traffic.

We will have 7 aid stations on the course, each stocked with water and Gatorade. Select locations will also offer fruit, salty snacks, and various flavored  HUMA Gels. Each aid station will have at least one port-a-pot and a SELF HELP Kit with basic runner amenities.

The following items are not permitted on the course: pets, skateboards, bicycles, roller blades, baby joggers, and any other type of vehicle (other than official race vehicles). These regulations are for your safety and the safety of the other participants in the race.  Corrigan Sports reserves the right to disqualify and remove anyone from the course who has any of the above items.   Headphones are strongly discouraged, and will make you ineligible for overall awards. Read full policy.
