Frequently Asked Questions

How does a wave start work?

Wave starts are designed to reduce race start congestion and improve your race day running experience. In a wave start, runners start in groups at 2 minute intervals. This way you can run with others who are similar in speed. A wave start will allow you plenty of space along the course, at the aid stations and at the finish line, without affecting your chip time or the time you have to complete the race. On race day you will line up under / behind the banner that best fits your estimated running pace per mile.

Will there be port-o-potties along the course?

Porta Potties will be on the course about every 1.5 miles, free standing bathrooms at the park

Can I walk the course?

7 hours to finish the marathon, that’s about 15minutes plus per mile. So, walkers are welcome, stroller moms, and walking clubs.
