Race Day Packet Pickup/Registration: Packet Pickup is available each race day morning from 4:00-5:45 am . If picking up your packet less than 15 minutes before the race start could result in not being ready for the race start – please plan accordingly.
Early Start: Optional Early Start recommended for 50K, marathon, and half marathoners expecting a 6+ hour finish time. One hour before Regular Start.
Time Limit: None. We have a “no runner left behind” policy, and we happily stay until the final finisher crosses the line. Walkers are always welcome!

Discounts: $10 discount on marathon/half marathon to active military, as well as members of any club that will list these events on their calendar. (Active.com requires a code to receive discount, which you can find on the club’s site or by contacting us.) We also offer a discount for local participants; contact us for details.
Food/Aid Stations: Due to our unique multi-loop course setup, we have one giant “aid station,” with more food and drink than you could ever need! Ask anyone who’s run at least one of our races; we’ve got everything from fruit to jelly beans to sandwiches, water to Gatorade to hot coffee, and everything in between. Way more than just granola bars and bananas–we even have our very own mobile kitchen, Loony Lunchbox!
