Water/Fuel Stations

  • There will be a water stop approximately every mile along the course.

Personal Hydration Station

All runners have the option to stock their very own personal hydration and fuel! We completely understand that all runners have their own beverage preferences, so we are here to accommodate.

How it works:

  • Pre-mix your personal race concoction(s)
  • Pre-race you’ll be allowed access the table to set up however you’d like (within your allotted space)
  • Runners will pass the hydration station every lap, and will pass it twice on laps 1-5
  • Be sure to clearly mark all items with your bib number!

Spectators

There are designated spectator areas along the course. Please keep in mind, once the race starts, course access for spectators will be very limited!

 

Pacing Group Start
