Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Trail Marathon a Boston Qualifier?

No, it's not a BQ. Since we want to keep you on good trails (never mind the hills & rocks,) the actual race distance differs slightly from the advertised distance. Hence no USATF Certification and no BQ.

Are dogs allowed on the course? How about if on a leash?

As fond as we are of the K-9 Corps, we will not allow them on the course for the comfort and safety of other runners.

How long do I have to finish the race?

There is a 6 hour cut off for the Half Marathon.  There is an 9 hour cut off time for the Marathon and 50K.
