Pro tips

  1. 01

    Cool Fall Temps

    Typical race-day temperature is 16.9°C. That's cool for running, but start with a throwaway layer you can shed once you warm up.

  2. 02

    Boston Qualifier

    This is a certified Boston Marathon qualifier. If you're chasing a BQ, run it as a goal race and stick to your pace plan.

    Small-Town Race

    Expect a low-key, friendly atmosphere with local support. Use the quiet roads to focus on your splits and enjoy the Heartland vibe.
