Pro tips

  1. 01

    Flat and fast course

    The description calls this a predominantly flat, well-paved route built for speed. Settle onto goal pace early rather than holding back for hills, since no climbs are listed.

    From the description

  2. 02

    Pace the transitions

    The description says the route shifts between city streets and waterfront parks. Run those changes by effort instead of pace, because turns and surface changes cost you time.

  3. 03

    Know your start

    The marathon and the half marathon both go off this morning, so confirm which start area and corral is yours before race day to avoid a rushed, stressful warmup.

  4. 04

    Plan for October, not summer

    The description mentions early summer weather, but this race is in October with a typical race-day temperature of 16.7°C. Pack for cool fall conditions, not summer heat.
