Marathon update: 12.5k

Last Updated: 25.Jan.2017

We wanted to update you on the current course conditions here at the Outdoor Center. We weathered yesterday's mix of ice, snow, and rain well, but the forecast is still somewhat mixed. Our goal is to provide the best and safest course possible. With that in mind, we are going to switch from our planned 16k lap to our standard 12.5k lap. We believe that by shortening the course we can focus our snow saving efforts and provide the best loop to our racers.

Given that we are shortening the course, the registration categories in which you entered will change slightly. 

- The 16k, 1 lap race will become a 12.5k, 1 lap race.
- The 33k, 2 lap race will become a 25k, 2 lap race.
- The 50k, 3 lap race will be 4 laps now. 

If you would like to change your category, you must email our race director, Ollie Burruss, by 5pm on Thursday. We will process category changes free of charge until 5:00pm on Thursday, after which registration is closed. 

Thank you for being flexible. We believe this will ensure the best racing possible Saturday morning.
