BOTH OUR HALF MARATHON & 5K COURSES ARE CERTIFIED!* *It is possible that road construction may impede the certified courses for both the 5K and half marathon. Although the courses will be measured, marked, and mapped out for 5000 meters and 13.1 miles they may differ from what was certified. We are hoping construction does not happen at the same time, but please know when you sign up that they may not be certified (if even a minor adjustment needs to happen). No refunds will be made.
The half marathon is marked with orange footprints on the race course.
The 5K is marked with green footprints on the race course.
