How will the start line work?
• Please join your start group according to your anticipated pace per mile!
• Wheelchair athletes will line up at the front of the corral to start before all runners. Walkers and strollers (5k only) are to assemble toward the back of the corral.
• Seeded Corral Placement
Athletes who meet the following qualifying times will be placed in the seeded corral:
1:20 minutes or less – Men
1:30 minutes or less – Women
Runners aiming for placement in the fastest group must provide proof of their qualifying race result from a certified distance that meets these minimum time requirements. If we are unable to verify an athlete's qualifying performance with the information provided, they will be placed in the general corral. Please note that seeded corral placement is not guaranteed.
Will the race be timed?
The Half Marathon will be timed using the ChronoTrack timing system. A ChronoTrack B-tag will be located on the back of the race bib. Do not remove, bend or break the ChronoTrack B-tag. Without the B-tag, your official time WILL NOT be recorded.
