Our course is USATF certified. Courses Certified by USATF are measured by a proven method that incorporates the calibration of measuring devices against a steel tape and are verified by multiple measurements.

Race courses are measured along a well-defined path called the “SPR”—the Shortest Possible Route that a runner can possibly run. Most runners don’t actually run the SPR, so the distance recorded by their GPS device will usually be longer than the certified length of the course, even though the course was properly measured along the SPR according to USATF rules.

All runners will receive an email from our photography partner 2-3 days after the race with a link to view / purchase their photos. We will post a link to race photos when they become available!

Winners must be present to receive their prize; awards will not be mailed out.
