Half Marathon

Half Marathon Ruck
Ruckers are hiking with a weighted ruck sack or weight plate carrier and will be weighed prior to the race. Ruckers Under 150 lbs must have a backpack with 20 lbs Ruckers Over 150 Lbs must have a backpack with 30 lbs
Half Marathon - Early Start (No Awards)
We will be allowing 50 half marathoners running or rucking to start early, but only on the basis they need the extra time to meet the cutoffs. 1) I understand that while the course will be marked, there is a chance that aid stations will not be manned by the time I arrive at them. 2) I am signing up for this category because I believe the extra time will be necessary for me to make the cutoff, not because I want to finish early. I will not use headphones so I can hear runners behind me, and I will move the the side when runners approach to pass.
