Run it yourself, split it up with a partner, or create a team of five. We’ve designed a very unique course that breaks the marathon into five segments, with a single aid station runners will pass through four times as the fun, boisterous centerpiece. This race features a generous cutoff too! And if you aren't running please sign up to volunteer- we need you!
