Our FREE Health and Fitness Expo has something for everyone. We're expecting over 60 exhibitors this year, including marathon sponsors and vendors. They will be showing the latest designs in running gear and offering information on fitness, training, equipment and nutrition. Bargains on anything to do with running, along with product samples from food to foot powder. There's also a special Zumba Fitness class on Saturday, where we’re trying to break a record for the most participants in one class. It’s FREE to attend! There will also be a Yoga demonstration and DMC will have a health presentation. All race participants are required to attend the expo to pick up their materials, so we expect thousands in attendance . We pride ourselves on our attention to detail, and offering a variety of options to make your visit more enjoyable. Plan on spending a few hours - the expo is full of things to see, learn, and buy whether you're signed up for the big race or not.

Please identify yourself to our volunteers when you pick up your number. If you are unsure, please ask and we will seek the opinion of CBP officers!
CBP employs a wide array of Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) technology to serve as a force multiplier and to complement the work of CBP officers in guarding America. These technologies serve a vital function in day-to-day vehicles, trucks, cargo containers and baggage, at our borders and ports of entry. The Radiation Portal Monitor is a detection device that provides CBP with a passive, non-intrusive means to screen conveyances for radiation emanating from various sources, including natural sources and isotopes commonly used in medicine and industry. If any participants in the marathon have recently had medical procedures completed, there is a chance that they may trigger the portal alarms.
