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.
- Here are your splits to remain on pace to finish under the cut-off.
