They are not. As this is not a closed course, we don’t want to encourage you to take safety risks in an effort to have a faster time!
These start times help us better plan and provide support for you at the SAG locations along the route. They also allow you the opportunity to find other cyclists who ride at your pace to enhance your experience and safety. We will provide a lead car for the first several miles of each distance (except for 5 miles) at the suggested start time (for the reasons listed above).
We are helmet advocates – so yes! Cyclists must wear a bike helmet!
This is a family friendly event, these types of items are definitely allowed!
We will provide you the following:
Printed route map based on your mileage (you can take multiple if you haven’t committed to a certain mileage yet).
Color coded, connect-the-dots, directional markings on the road. Each route has its own specific color and matches the color of your emergency contact wristband!
Turn-by-turn navigation for your route. Join our Club on Ride with GPS!
All finishers will recieve an award

Half Marathon Runners must meet the minimum 13.50-minute per mile pace. We cannot block traffic and keep our volunteers on the site past the 3-hour finish limit we have set. Runners unable to meet this minimum time limit will be rerouted on a reduced distance route for their safety. Because of this, the roads would open for traffic, and you would no longer have road guidance or water stop support. Runners unable to meet this minimum time limit will be rerouted on a reduced distance route for their safety.
