USTAF certified 13.1, 10K and 5K courses with a mix of rolling hills and flat areas. The course will be well marked and have lots of volunteers and activity on the course. Police will be present at highly traveled intersections and leading the 13.1 race. There will be water/snack/aide stations all along the courses. Powerade, water & food will be throughout the course. The half marathon will have a 3 1/2 hour time limit, which is a 16 minute/mile. BUT THIS YEAR THERE WILL BE A CHANGE…………PARTICIPANTS WILL RUN IT BACKWARDS. No more whining about going up the Alexander Hill!!!!
