Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this a Boston qualifying course?
A: No it is not.
Q: Is there a time limit for any of the races?
A: Officially, no. The timing company will leave after 7 hours, as that is how long he is contracted for. We have never had anyone take much longer than that for the full marathon.
Q: If I can't run can someone else use my registration?
A: Yes, you can transfer your entry to someone else, just let me know at least 2 weeks ahead of time so I can make the necessary changes.
Q: can I get a refund because I can't run?
A: Unfortunately, since I use the registration money to pay for the shirts, medals, fees, etc I can not give out refunds. You can transfer your entry to another runner if I have at least 2 weeks notice.
