You may start as early as 5:15 AM and the race will be over at 2:00 PM. We will all be leaving at that time, but if you haven't finished yet - you can simply email me your results.
Because of so many weddings, anniversaries, graduations, birth days, vacations, summer plans and the overwhelming of so many runners wanting to start between 5:15 AM and 6:00 AM,
we have decided to accommodate each and every runner. We will be running multiple out and backs this year.
WE WILL BE RUNNING SOUTH ON THE GREEN RIVER TRAIL AND THEN BACK.
1/2 marathon will be TWO out and backs ~ 3.28 miles South on the Green River Trail and back to where you started.
Full marathon will be FOUR out and backs ~ 3.28 miles South on the Green River Trail and back to where you started.
50K will be FOUR out and backs ~ 3.28 miles South on the Green River Trail and back to where you started then a final 2.4 mile out and back.
Race will be over at 2:00 PM. We will have you self-report your times to me at the finish.
8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Late stragglers who cannot make it to the starting line by 8:00 AM.
8:00 AM: Marathoners And Half Marathoners Mass Start.
7:00 AM: Early Start.
6:00 AM: Super Early Start.
5:15 AM - 6:00 AM: Super Super Early Start (those who cannot wait until 6:00 AM to start).
I hope to see many of you Saturday (06/07/25) for our 29th Annual Running of this Marathon, Relay, Half Marathon and 50K.
