 COURSE CUT-OFF TIMES FOR HALF-MARATHON ONLY:

  • At the 11:15 am start to the Awards Ceremony, there still may be folks on the course as the cutoff is 3:16:30 or an average of 15 min/per mile
    • Here are your splits to remain on pace to finish under the cut-off.
      • 1m- 15:00
      • 2m- 30:00
      • 3m- 45:00
      • 4m- 1:00:00
      • 5m- 1:15:00 (check point)
      • 6m- 1:30:00
      • 7m- 1:45:00
      • 8m- 2:00:00
      • 9m- 2:15:00
      • 10m- 2:30:00
      • 11m- 2:45:00
      • 12m- 3:00:00
      • 13m- 3:15:00
        • The 5m mark on the return is only 1 mile from the start and the finish so we ask that you be at the 5m split by 1:15:00 (15:00/per mile).  If you are over the 1:15:00 time at 5 miles we ask that you stop and walk back to the start/finish as you did not make the cut-off.   We only pay to keep agencies (Police/Fire/Medic/Rangers) for so long and for your safety you must remain under the cutoff pace of a 15 min per mile which we feel is very reasonable for a half-marathon runner.    Please know that this is not a "walk only" event.
