The marathon course limit is 6.5 hours and has two mandatory checkpoints. Should you not meet the two checkpoints, you will be escorted to a sag vehicle. You must maintain a minimum pace to complete within the 6.5 hour time limit. Those who continue on must sign a release waiver and turn in their BIB number to continue as a citizen.
All limits will begin at the time of each wave start. So, if you’re in the final wave, your 6.5 hour countdown will begin when you cross the start line.
This is a competitive race with an expected finish time of 6.5 hours or less. Because we hire police and security from 5 jurisdictions, it is important that we comply with the time limits set.
Runners planning on finishing the race must be through mile 10 by 9:10pm. Please be considerate of our volunteers who begin their day as early as 3:00am. We do our best to score every runner and do not sweep the course; however we do modify the finish area at the 6.5 hour point. The checkpoint timing mats are also removed at the 6.5 hour mark.
