New This Year:

Race Information on our Web site, including course maps, is based on the 2009 events. While we are not planning any major changes to the route, any updates for 2010 will be added to the site as details are finalized. Please check back periodically.

We have combined the Half Marathon Non-Competitive Walk and the Half Marathon Run into the Half Marathon Run/Walk. We want to stress that we are not preventing you from walking the course, as long as you meet the time requirements. If you are an experienced, serious walker who would like to walk the entire course in a competitive environment, please enter the Half Marathon Competitive Walk Division. If you are new to the sport or would like to alternate jogging and walking, we ask that you sign up for the Half Marathon Run/Walk event. Entry fees, packet pick-up and time requirements remain the same for both divisions.

The 5K Fun Run/Walk and Kid's Run MUST be completed in one hour and ten minutes.
