Flat loops around Bachman Lake on concrete and asphalt, with a small hill near the bridge and at the start/finish on each loop. The half is 4 loops (listed as 13.38 miles) and the marathon 8 loops (26.76 miles); the course was rerouted for construction and the race says it is not certified.

No. There is no cutoff, and official results use gun time, not chip time. All finishers are listed in the results.

The organizers say they follow the rules of the 50 State Marathon Club and Marathon Maniacs.

An aid station every 3 miles with sports drink, water, pretzels, bananas and other snacks, and you can leave your own cooler or bag near the aid area. Bathrooms are at the start/finish and around the lake, and parking is free, mostly within 50 yards of the start.
