Detailed course description including elevation
Maps are also available at package pickup and on race day. The course will be marked and marshalled, but ultimately it is YOUR responsibility to be familiar with the race course.
NEW: Early Start
In response to requests to have a 30 minute early start for some individuals who wish to walk the half marathon event, we have decided to offer this option. A volunteer leader will guide such participants through the early part of the route until 9:00am when the Half Marathon begins and the course is officially open. There will be no traffic management and officially, no volunteer services until 9:00am. Once the event starts, walkers will be able to continue normally. Because an early option was not available at registration, anyone wishing to partake in the early start MUST e-mail the race director at: rotaryrunracedirector@gmail.com or indicate at package pick-up that you want an early start. You will be issued a timing chip but it will need to be adjusted for the early start and the timing company will need to be able to identify you. If you intend to start at 8:30am, you must be at the start area of the track well before that time as you must follow the volunteer leader.
