Half Marathon: 3 hours and 15 minutes (15-minute mile pace)
π§ Keep in mind, these limits are set as per our event permit, which includes road usage, police support, and city resources. Post the permitted time, roads will reopen, and we'll need to wrap up our support services, including road closures, police, medical coverage, hydration stations, and course markings.
π When the course closes at the cutoff time, any remaining participants should move off the roads and onto the sidewalks.
β οΈ Important: Using the course route before or after the permitted time means you're not an active participant and should adhere to pedestrian laws. Participants not meeting the cutoff will not receive an official time.
