What's New

In accordance with the guidelines of USATF and the Road Runner's Club of America, we are strongly recommending that you do not use Ipods or other audio devices during the event.  Choosing to use an audio device will NOT result in disqualification, but you will compromise your safety and that of others by wearing a headset. If wearing an Ipod or other audio device results in you being unable to hear verbal instructions or commands, or approaching vehicles or course marshals on bicycles, you may be asked to relinquish the device and face disqualification.  We ask that you take responsibility and use good judgement if you opt to wear an audio device; the safety of our participants is our first priority.

We truly hope you'll opt to leave your headsets at home and instead let the incredible scenery and music we provide on the course serve as your motivation and inspiration.

Please not that we will NOT be using ChampionChips as our 2008 timing devices!  In keeping with technological advances in event timing, Race Central (our race timing company) is now using the ChronoTrack system. The traditional ChampionChip will be replaced by a D-Tag.  Advantages to the runner include...

    A disposable tag
    Accurate timing
    No fees for lost or unreturned chips
    Less pre- and post-race hassles
    A lighter, less intrusive tag that is easier to attach to your shoe
    No pre-race chip scan needed and there is no post race turn in

While we love the gender specific shirt sizing as much as many of you, it has proved too difficult to secure current sizing for all our participants since we have to order our shirts several months in advance of race day.  As a result, we are returning to unisex sizing.  This will mostly affect the sizes for our female entrants, so be sure to check the shirt sizing chart on the Half Marathon event information page to ensure that you get the size you want.
