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 3:00:00 or an average of 13:44 min/per mile
- Here are your splits to remain on pace to finish under the cut-off.
- 1m- 13:44
- 2m- 27:28
- 3m- 41:12
- 4m- 54:56
- 5m- 1:08:40 (check point)
- 6m- 1:22:24
- 7m- 1:36:08
- 8m- 1:49:52
- 9m- 2:03:36
- 10m- 2:17:20
- 11m- 2:31:04
- 12m- 2:44:48
- 13m- 2:58:32
- 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 1:08:40 (13:44/per mile). If you are over the 1:08:40 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 13:44 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.
