If I am not running can I participate by being a volunteer?
YES...Volunteers are greatly appreciated and needed! Please visit the Volunteer Info link on this site to get all the information needed on being a volunteer. Students please bring any volunteer hours verification forms you may have from your school.

Will there be port-o-potties along the course?
Yes: Porta Potties will be on the course about every 1.5 miles, free standing bathrooms at the park.  Porta a potties are usually one per 150 people according to the experts.   We always have one unit per 75 people at the start area.   Please get it done early to avoid the lines. 

Can I walk the course?
Yes:  You have 7 hours to finish this race, that’s about 15 minutes plus per mile. Sooo... walkers are welcome, stroller moms, and walking clubs.  Full marathon is 4 loops of this course.

Early start option: 

We are proud to announce a “marathon early start” option for the full marathon runners that need a little more time to finish and still be part of all the fun at the post race party. “Early Start” is at 6 am on race day; BUT you have to let us know ahead of time so that we can capture your bib number for the official timing stats. We will NOT have all of our water stations setup until about 6:30 am so you are on your own for water for the first 30 minutes. You must know the course (out and back course) if you want to use the early option

Is the course accurately measured and marked?
Yes: This has been GPS measured several times to make sure we are on the mark.  Feel free to check it out on your own watch if you have time prior to the race. There will be mile markers on the course and volunteers at all major turns and water stations.
