Race Info
Runners will have to look for and track the blue blazes along the trail to avoid getting lost. The race course will not be specially marked for the marathon.
There will be nine aid stations along the course. Most of them will be fully stocked stations, while a few will have only water. The longest distance between aid stations is 4.1 miles, occurring between the start line (Aid Station 5) and the finish line (Aid Station 1/3). As the course passes back through the start line around mile 12, runners can also leave supplies to pick up for the second half of the race.
Race shirts can be purchased as an add-on while registering or after registration.
