What percentage of the course is trail?
Approximately ten miles of the marathon route are on quiet residential streets (scattered through the course, not in one stretch). The rest (16 miles) is either on smooth gravel or paved bike paths.
The Half Marathon course is run almost entirely on either paved or smooth gravel paths. Please watch out for bicyclists and dog walkers. Neither route is closed to traffic, and although we have law enforcement and course marshals, you are also responsible for your safety! Stay to one side of the road as instructed by the officials, signage and chalk.

Is there a course map yet? I want to register but I also want to see a map and elevation gain/loss over the course, if possible.
Thanks!
Course Maps are up.
How do I sign up for this race from Canada? The website won’t allow me to pay by credit card. I’d like to take advantage of the early-bird discount and certainly I don’t want it to sell out before I can sign up!
Is there a walker start this year? I have so enjoyed that opportunity in the past!
Yes we will offer an early start for walking participants. Be sure to register as a “Walking Participant”. Walking participants should head out with the knowledge that there will not be support on course initially. It’s advisable to carry water and a headlamp, and know the first few miles of the course in the dark! Plan on being part of the walking group leaving at 5:00a.m.
I don’t see “Walking Participant” as an option on the registration form.
