The Course :: The Finish

As you finish, a digital clock will display your unofficial time. Timers will record your official time. The time on the digital clock may not match your official time. When you cross the finish line, you will be greeted by a volunteer who will present you with your finishers medal and help you find whatever assistance you may need. You will be directed to your sweat bag and from there to showers (bring your own soap and towel), medical personnel, and a place where you can relax and enjoy live music and/or a massage in the gym; you can also enjoy hot soup, rolls, fresh fruit, yogurt, water, and other beverages. Under state law, and for the safety of all, dogs are not allowed on the campus of Vintage High School at any time. Violators will be cited.

6-HOUR CUTOFF TIME

Due to provisions in road-use permits, the marathon course is opened to traffic and closed to the marathon at 1:00 p.m. At 1:00 pm , marathon officials and a representative from law enforcement will collect bib numbers from all participants still on the course. All remaining participants will be transported back to the finish line in the marathon “sag” bus. Runners who insist on staying on the course after aid stations are closed do so at their own risk. The marathon provides a sag bus that drives the course as aid stations are closed. Runners wishing a ride back to the finish area can catch the bus by waiting at an aid station. Runners who do not reach the 17-mile point by 11:30 a.m. will be removed from the course and bussed to the finish area. Race results close at 1:00 p.m. and only those finishing under 6 hours will be posted on the website. If you cannot finish the race within the 6 hour cutoff, please do not enter and take an entry spot away from a runner who can finish within the allotted time.
