City permits limit the race time to a 6-hour time limit. The course will be closed at a 13:45 minute per mile pace. No race services including medical, aid stations or traffic control are available beyond this pace.
The finish line remains open until 1:00pm (assuming a 7:00am start). Participants must cross the finish line by 1:00pm in order to be considered “official finishers.” After 1:15pm, the finish line is taken down. Medals will not be awarded after 1:15pm, NO EXCEPTIONS.
The racecourse is opened to traffic on a rolling schedule as participants make their way to the finish. In order to ensure safety, a Sweep Vehicle and Bus follows the race route to pick-up participants who are unable to maintain this pace on a consistent basis. Participants are required to board the Sweep Bus when so instructed by Race Officials. Course Marshals are instructed to record bib numbers of all participants who refuse to board the bus when instructed to do so.

In order to comply with city permits, streets crossing the route must be reopened to vehicular traffic on a set schedule.

If you are caught by the Sweep Vehicle, you MUST board this vehicle for transport to the finish area. For your safety, the Police Department does not allow runners to continue once the course has been re-opened to traffic. Keep in mind that race services, including water stations and medical aid, will be discontinued once the Sweep Vehicle comes through. The finish line closes at 1:15pm. Finisher medals will be awarded only to those finishing within the allotted time limit.

For the safety of our runners the following are not allowed: going backward, runners not wearing a race number, animals, bicycles, baby joggers, strollers, roller skates, roller blades, hand-crank chairs, wheeled vehicles and push-rim wheelchairs.

Receiving outside assistance of any kind is not allowed. Outside assistance consists of, but is not limited to receiving fluids, gels, food or any personal items from someone not serving in an official race capacity; receiving pacing assistance from any person that is not a registered participant of the race.

Abusive behavior or language directed toward any other participant, volunteer, police officer, or staff member is also not allowed.

Any of these rule infractions can result in a time penalty or race disqualification. The discretion and final ruling reside with the Race Director.

Gel and nutrition products are available at select aid stations along the course.

Powerade is our fluids partner for the race and will be offered as well as water at aid stations.
