Race Day
The Marathon and Half-Marathon set off at 7am, while the 5K will begin shortly thereafter at 7:30. The Start Line is at the intersection of Park/Almaden downtown, and there is plenty of free weekend parking nearby. There will be no official pace groups for either race.
From this point on we cannot edit or transfer any registrations, but distance changes can be accommodated. Refunds are not available but we can rollover registrations for the 2010 race.
