Pro tips

  1. 01

    Bus to the Start

    Park at Brandi Fenton Park (finish) by 5:00 AM. Marathon buses run 5:30–6:00, half buses 5:50–6:10, to the start at 5960 N. Oracle Rd.

  2. 02

    Oracle Road Opening

    The first 5 miles are on N. Oracle Road before the gentle 800-foot net drop on the Loop. Don't chase the drop early; let it come to you.

    Uninterrupted Surface

    The all-paved Chuck Huckleberry Loop has no parked cars or street crossings. Use the traffic-free surface to lock into goal pace without dodging obstacles.

    Splits and Cutoff

    With a 6.5-hour time limit and splits at half marathon and 20 miles, marathoners can run conservatively and still target a Boston Qualifier.
