2021 Registration Paused
We typically open registration on February 1 for the upcoming year’s Marathon & ½ Marathon, but have paused those plans for 2021.
While vaccinations are on the rise and some bright spots are emerging, we do not yet have a clear indication of when events such as ours can resume, and registration for our October 17 event remains on hold.
We've long said it isn't fair to ask you to spend your hard-earned money on uncertainty, but if we can move forward you'll receive plenty of notice to sign up!

What we do know: We will not put on our event unless it can be the high-quality, high-excitement experience you expect from us. It will be safe and it will be full-service. We will get there, and when we return, we believe you will be glad you waited to take part in this wonderful event!
As we all continue to be affected by the changes this virus has forced upon us, please check our website and follow us on social media for updates on when we will move ahead; we will provide you with plenty of time to make your decision to join us!
